LANDSCAPING CODE
9.4.5.1 Application
(1) This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Landscape code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
(Tables of Assessment).
(2) All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.
9.4.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Landscaping code is to ensure development:
(a) incorporates landscapes that are consistent with and protect and enhance the amenity and distinct vegetated character of Noosa Shire; and
(b) creates quality places and spaces.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Landscaping code are:
(a) Development integrates landscaping into its design, ensuring building and structures sit within the landscape rather than dominating it.
(b) Landscaping is consistent with the vegetated character and landscape design principles of Noosa Shire.
(c) Development retains, reinforces and enhances existing vegetation where practicable and natural landscape features of the site, streetscape
and locality.
(d) Landscaping creates aesthetically pleasing, safe, comfortable and functional environments in which people live, work and visit.
(e) Development relies on the retention of existing natural vegetation and natural features for their ecological, aesthetic and cultural values.
(f) Plantings are of a scale and density commensurate with building height, bulk and scale.
(g) Hard landscape features use natural materials such as timber or rock over manufactured materials.
(h) Landscaping enhances visual privacy for dwellings, buffers development and conflicting land uses, and screens services and storage areas.
(i) Landscaping species are chosen and established in a manner that promotes longevity and ease of maintenance, such that species:
(i) are predominantly those naturally occurring in the area;
(ii) suit local soil, climate, aspect and the site situation; and
(iii) contribute to the habitat of local wildlife.
(j) Revegetation and rehabilitation of native wildlife habitat and riparian areas protect and enhance ecological and biodiversity values.
(k) Vegetation protects the integrity of steep slopes and unstable landforms.
(l) Landscaping incorporates sound water management with on-site detention and the efficient infiltration of stormwater and assists with
microclimate management and energy conservation.
(m) Species that attract wildlife are not planted in a location that would place wildlife at risk from incompatible uses.
