                     13.6     Compliance with the Biodiversity Overlay Code
                              Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in sections 13.8—13.10
                              complies with the Biodiversity Overlay Code.

                     13.7.2.  The overall outcomes sought for the Biodiversity Overlay Code are the following—
                              a)    The natural resources of Noosa Shire are conserved including—
                                    i      land which is of scenic, cultural, historical, educational, recreational,
                                          scientific, ecological, biodiversity, economic, social or aesthetic value;
                                    ii    soil or landforms such as watercourses, drainage lines, foreshores,
                                          dunes and steep siopes;
                                    ili   the ecosystem health and quality of the water, land and other natural
                                           resources; and
                                    iv    the extent and condition of native and remnant vegetation, including
                                          ecologically important areas, wetlands and areas of significant regrowth
                                          of local origin;
                              b)    The terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity of native flora and fauna and their
                                    habitats is maintained;
                              Cc)   Ecologically important areas, wildlife corridors, ecological linkages and riparian
                                    vegetation are conserved, managed, enhanced and rehabilitated to ensure the
                                    long term ecological viability, integrity and sustainability of native flora and fauna
                                    species, and to improve biodiversity, landscape stability, and resilience;
                              d)    Development is managed so as to avoid, or where avoidance is not practicable,
                                    minimises or mitigates the impacts upon the Shire’s biodiversity values and
                                    natural resources, including—
