   Landscaping Code
Comment: The proposed development has been assessed and is consistent with the Probable Solutions
described in Table 14.55 and Specific requirement 14.135 for Business Uses in the Landscaping Code.
Table 14.56 within the Landscaping Code prescribes a minimum of 15% of the site to be landscaped. The
Landscape Plan prepared by Zest Building Design within Appendix B illustrates that 110m2 of soft landscaping
is proposed. Whilst the proposal does not meet the prescribed minimum landscaped area the proposal does
include an improved landscaping outcome over the existing soft landscaping on-site.
The existing landscaping will be enhanced with the additional of endemic plantings and landscaping design
treatments. The proposed landscaping has been designed in accordance with the Planning Scheme Policy 3
Plants and Guidelines. The following plantings are proposed;
    •   10 x 300mm pot Fraser Island Apple,
    •   20 x 140mm pot Crinium, and
    •   20 x tube Gold Buttons.


Statement landscaping treatments have been incorporated at the entry of the industrial warehouse and
garden centre to create streetscape appeal and visual interest. Additionally, the featured landscaping of the
front and rear boundary areas will not impede the accessibility to or manoeuvring on the site.



   Driveways and Carparking Code
Comment: The proposed hostel has been assessed against and complies with the relevant Specific Outcomes
and Probable Solutions prescribed within Tables 14.49, 14.50 and 14.51 of the Driveways and Carparking Code.
The proposed use will utilise the existing two vehicle crossovers on Eumundi Noosa Road and Traders Lane.
One footpath crossing currently existing on Eumundi Noosa Road. No alteration to the existing crossovers and
driveway configurations are proposed.

Comment: The proposed industrial warehouse and garden centre will reuse the existing building on site. No
earthworks are proposed and therefore assessment against the Earthworks Code is not required.

assessment against the Erosion and Sediment Control Code is not required.



   Existing Services Code
Comment: The proposed industrial warehouse and garden centre will connect to the existing infrastructure
including Council’s reticulated water, electricity, and sewer supply. No changes to the existing connections are
proposed. Assessment against the Existing Services Code is not required.
