Development Proposal Report [As Published] · 132007.2399

            (d) Electricity and telecommunications: It is proposed to install underground
                electrical reticulation and telecommunication within the development and
                existing supply is located along Links Drive.

            (e) Storm water: Storm water from hard surfaces such as roofs, roads, access
                driveways and paths, will be collected by a purpose designed storm water system
                and discharged through underground pipes into the Noosa Springs internal lake
                system. This matter has been addressed extensively by previous reports and
                approved by Council and other relevant authorities. Overland flow paths are also
                provided in the Lot layout design.

            (f) Refuse disposal: Each residential lot will have a general refuse bin and a recycle
                bin. It is proposed that the bins will be taken to a centrally located area for
                collection.

     4.4. Landscaping

            The landscape theme of Noosa Springs is embodied in an approved Landscape
            Design Report, which established principles and has guided the landscape design
            throughout the project. An emphasis on a heavily vegetated landscape is important
            to the integrity of the development of Precinct J, particularly in its relationship to its
            bush setting and the surrounding golf course. Open spaces and heavily vegetated
            landscaping will dominate and provide a natural setting for buildings. The object is
            to integrate the built and natural environments. Building design will compliment the
            landscape themes and create a harmonious relationship with a sense of place and
            identity. Appendix No. 9 comprises an Indicative Landscape Examples drawing,
            which illustrates the proposed landscape treatment with reference to photographs
            of areas within the earlier stages of residential development at Noosa Springs.

            (a) Objectives: The general landscape philosophy follows:
                    (i) To create an ecologically sustainable and environmentally friendly
                          development of landscape excellence;
                    (ii) To integrate the built and natural environment;
                    (iii) To maintain the quality values of a distinctive estate placed in a natural
                          setting similar to that found elsewhere at Noosa Springs;
                    (iv) To have vegetation dominating the external views of the estate
                          particularly from the golf course and other residential areas;
                    (v) To provide a predominantly lush Australian native bush character
                          utilizing, primarily, plant specimens found naturally in the region and,
                          secondarily, compatible non-native species as supplements to add
                          variety and interest where considered appropriate.
