Noosa Lot 4 Early Learning Centre RFI Response 12.04.23 · MCU22/0094

realigned site area, whilst also achieving more than the minimum requirement for 10% landscaping
on the site.

The design of the built form and landscaped open space and outdoor play areas allows the
landscaping to become the focal point with the built form becoming secondary within the street vista,
as shown in the Perspectives of the proposed development included in this RFI response package
(see Attachment 8 - Perspectives).

ITEM 4
Floor Plan – Ground Plan A-DA-03.01 indicates that there will be shade sails extending within the
proposed 4m landscape buffer along Hofmann Drive. As detailed in Information Required 1 above the
Hofmann Drive boundary is required to have the 10m landscaped garden maintained. Therefore shade
sails or any other infrastructure is not supported to be within this found landscaped area.
Information Required
    1. Amend all plans to ensure no infrastructure such as shade sails are located within the Hofmann
         Drive landscape buffer.

Our Response
Please refer to our detailed response to Council’s RFI item 3 above.

ITEM 5
Plan A-DA-00.01 includes drawings of the site however the landscaping proposed within the drawings
does not meet the requirements of the Noosa Plan or the conditions stipulated within RAL18/0023
requiring a 10m wide planted garden. Landscaping needs to include appropriate screening planting and
heights.
Information Required
    1. Amend drawings to adequately display the landscaping requirements for example ensure tree
        species of adequate height are included to depict what the actual development landscaping
        would look like.

Our Response
Please refer our detailed response to Council’s RFI item 3 above and to Attachment 2 – Amended
Landscape Concept Design Package.

As was requested by Council, the Landscape Concept Plans has been revised to provide additional
detail regarding tree planting and level screening along the frontage of the site adjoining Hofmann
Drive. The concept plans detail the indicative planting palette as well as elevation plans displaying the
presumed level of vegetation cover at maturity.

The revised proposal is considered compliant with the provisions of the Noosa Plan and will provide a
highly landscaped outcome which exceeds the 10% landscaping area required and will ultimately
result in 43.09% of the site as open space.

The above outcome will achieve compliance with AO32.5 of the Noosa Plan and Clause 10 of the 2003
IA.
