Planning Report No. 61500

              The outcomes stipulated in the Engineering Works Codes will be addressed
              as part of the subsequent Operational Works stage.


              Due to the small-scale nature of the 1 into 2 lot subdivision, it is considered
              that the requirements of the Landscaping Code are not applicable to the
              development.


    5.3         Overlay Codes

            As identified by the overlay maps of the Noosa Plan, the following overlays
            are applicable to the subject site:


                       Land Subject to Biodiversity Overlay – Environmental Protection Area
                        & Watercourses and Drainage Lines; and
                       Land Subject to Natural Hazards Overlay – Landslide Hazard Area,
                        Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity & Potential Impact Buffer.


              5.3.1        Biodiversity Overlay


            It is acknowledged that the subject site
            includes        areas      of    environmental
            protection              area        and         a
            watercourse/drainage line within. As
            mentioned throughout this report, the
            proposed         subdivision       has      been
            strategically       designed        to     avoid
            traversing       through        environmentally
            significant areas. Site Photos attached
            at Appendix G demonstrate that the
            area identified as native vegetation
            east of the existing house and south of the visible treeline is actually vacant of
            any vegetation and an appropriate place for the proposed boundary.
            Therefore, given the nature of the proposed development, it is highly unlikely
            that environmental protection areas or watercourses/drainage line will be
