          7.2 Noosaville Local Plan Code

          Under the Noosaville Local Plan Code, the most relevant performance outcomes are discussed below:

          •   PO3 – the proposed development is well removed from and will not be visible from the surrounding
              road network. The development will not detract from the existing streetscapes and gateways that
              enhance the sense of entry and character of Noosaville and the coastal urban area more generally.

          •   PO4 – The proposed development will not detract from the major road network and entrance roads,
              including Eumundi Noosa Road and Walter Hay Drive.

          •   PO5 – The development when considered as a whole, retains and enhances existing mature trees and
              character vegetation contributing to the vegetated backdrop, character and habitat values of the local
              plan area. In this case, it is necessary to remove some large gum trees in the location where Sheds B
              and C are proposed (refer Photo 1, below). The removal of these trees cannot be avoided given the
              limited space available for the provision of maintenance sheds in this restricted area of the GSLC.

              It is intended to offset the loss of the trees with additional trees to the east of the Sport Shed (Shed A).
              These trees will be native trees, however, must be compatible with the school environment. The existing
              trees are also considered to be too large for this space being close to the boundary and within GSLC
              and pose a safety risk. At this stage, the other larger trees to the north near the dam are to be retained.


                                                                                                 Gum trees to be removed
                                                                                                 and replaced by more
                                                                                                 suitable native species.

          •   PO7 – The proposed buildings and landscaping will be integrated within the natural landscape and will
              be consistent with the existing character of the area when having regard to the existing built form and
              scale of the GSLC. The proposed development takes the form of small separate buildings, three in total,
              that are to be separated by landscaping with some existing trees to be retained (AO7.1). The proposed
