Dear Lisa,
RE: Request for a Minor Change to a Development Approval at 247 – 251
Gympie Terrace, Noosaville (Council Reference 22849 DA).
I refer to Council’s request for further information sent on 10 April 2018 in
relation to the above-mentioned application.
In response to your issues raised, revised landscaping plans have been
prepared to illustrate additional landscaping to be provided which includes:
Landscaping Beneath Decks
The decks are raised approximately 600mm above the height of the existing
planter boxes. Soil and irrigation equipment remains within these boxes, which
is currently screened by timber battens. The planter boxes have access to
good sunlight from the northern aspect. The battens will be removed from
these boxes and they will be replenished with good quality topsoil. Rows of
Lomandra Confertifolia will be planted within each box to provide these
spaces with landscaping which will soften the streetscape.

Additional Landscaping Opportunities An additional landscaping bed will be provided adjacent to the street frontage, which has a total area of 3m2 (1500mm x 2000mm) as indicated on the landscape plan. This space will support a tree such as Syzygium oleosum complemented by ground covers. This will provide additional softening to the frontage when viewed from the streetscape. A landscaping bed has also been provided on the western side of the access driveway which was not indicated on the architectural plans. This landscape bed occupies an area of 2.7m2 (900mm x 3000mm) and is provided with landscaping that contributes to the streetscape. SUMMARY The proposal will improve the landscaped amenity along the street frontage of the site and ensure the development includes additional opportunities for landscaping. The proposed development also meets the specific and overall outcomes of the relevant codes as it will:
