ITEM 5. LANDSCAPED SETBACK
Amend the plans to increase the front landscape strip to 2m forward of the fencing.

RESPONSE
It is maintained that AO12.2 does not require a 2m minimum landscaping setback. The provision requires the
front 6 metres of the site to function as landscaped open space, which the proposal provides. As outlined in the
previous response, the front setback is landscaped, excluding the driveway necessary for access, and no
uncovered visitor parking or swimming pools are located within this area.

Nonetheless, the circular paved areas within the front setback have been removed and replaced with soft
landscaping in response to Council's feedback. The updated plans prepared by MRA Design (Attachment 1)
reflect this amendment. The front setback continues to provide meaningful soft landscaping that enhances the
streetscape and meets the intent of Performance Outcome PO12 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.



ITEM 6. TOTAL EXTENT OF LANDSCAPED AREAS
Submit revised plans that demonstrate the total landscaped areas are in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Noosa
Plan 2020 and achieve 40% of the total of the site and 60% of this as soft landscaping.

RESPONSE
Please refer to the updated landscaping area plan prepared by MRA Design (Attachment 1), which demonstrates
the total landscaped areas in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Noosa Plan 2020. The landscaping calculation
is as follows:
     •    Site area: 608.88m²
     •    40% landscaping required: 243.55m²
     •    Total landscaping provided: 295.50m²
     •     60% soft scape required: 146.13m²
     •     Total soft scape provided: 153.90m²

The proposal exceeds both the total landscaping requirement and the soft scape requirement. The development
therefore achieves compliance with Performance Outcome PO10 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling
Code.
