5.5       Species Selection

As the overall landscape philosophy for the development is to promote and improve on the sites existing
ecological attributes, the selection of plant species is considered a key component in the landscape
design.

To achieve the desired outcome, species of local provenance known to naturally inhabit pleistocene
sand dunes will dominate the Landscaping. A range of plant sizes are to be used at the planting stage
with more advanced specimens to be incorporated in the landscaped areas around the dwelling.

In selecting the particular types of indigenous species for a given situation within the development the
following points require consideration:

      •   Priority shall be given to Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat species
          where practical.
      •   Wildlife supporting plants that provide feed and habitat values for other local fauna.
      •   Fire retardant characteristics.
      •   Growth habit and form in respect to plants function in the landscape ie. shading, screening etc.
      •   Location with respect to built form and services.
      •   Position in landscape in respect to prime habitat and incidental habitat areas, (refer to Fauna
          Management Plan).
      •   Appropriate sizes and densities.

Turf areas are not encouraged throughout the development and shall be limited to utilising native couch
grass to open areas, mainly of the landscaped road reserve areas.

Comprehensive plant schedules will be prepared for operational works applications
and shall be derived from and limited to species listed below. In the event of supplementary species
being requested for use for construction they must be in compliance with the Noosa Landscape
Guidelines - Planning Scheme Policy 1 and approved in writing by Council.

These species shall be included within landscape planting areas where appropriate

5.7       Glossy Black Cockatoo food and habitat trees

Given the importance of the Glossy Black Cockatoo to the site the plant species below shall be
incorporated throughout all landscape planting areas where practical.
