LANDSCAPE DESIGN INTENT

GENERAL
The design intent is to provide a coherent, functional, attractive and contextually
appropriate landscape scheme that enhances the amenity and distinct vegetated
character of Noosa Shire as well as creating outdoor spaces conducive for residence
and their guests to enjoy & utilize. Located within an Woodland/ Open Forest area the
design seeks to be reflective of this vegetative character.

The design incorporates the following strategies and elements:

• Plant selection in principle in both broad scale planting and conventional amenity
planting areas is based on site suitability (hardiness, drought tolerance, longevity).
Shrubs in particular are selected on the basis of their hardiness, longevity and capability
in terms of retaining vigour following periodic pruning in order to maintain shape and
managed size.
• Landscape design as a general principle is directed towards maximising the
integration of the built form with the site and the site with the immediate locale.
• Planting layouts and arrangements (amenity planting areas) are designed in order
to maximise both visual amenity and visual coherence. Plant layering has been utilised
in order to produce simple an easily maintained layout whilst maximising visibility and
maintaining sight lines. Planting arrangements are designed to reinforce elements of
infrastructure and the built form vis-a-vis articulating entry points and circulation.
• Incorporates WSUD design principles.


SITE SPECIFIC LANDSCAPE OUTCOMES
BUFFER PLANTINGS
• Incorporates appropriate visual screening and buffer plantings in order to maximise
amenity for neighbouring residents and road traffic. The buffer planting the East of the
site will utilize the retention of the existing vegetation that lies within the buffer to form
the backbone of the screening. To the North & South of the site informal plantings of
native trees underplanted with shrubs & groundcovers will form the buffer. Along the
street frontage to the West a 6 meter wide buffer consisting of forest tree planting,
clumps of palms & feature trees located at entry points will screen the development from
the roadway.
• Incorporates native and locally endemic species appropriate to the Noosa Region
mainly selected from Noosa’s Preferred Plant Species List of Woodland/ Open Forest
Area & Closed Forest/ Rainforest Areas.

AMENITY PLANTINGS
• Planting within the site primarily incorporates contextually appropriate species for
amenity and ornamental planting arrangements.
• Planting bed areas will be mass planted and mulched in order to minimise irrigation
requirements, ensure rapid establishment and ease of maintenance.
• A comprehensive pattern of amenity shade trees is included in order to provide
shade for car parking areas and to reduce heat island effects and glare from hard
paved surfaces
• Iconic plantings are included at key points for visual emphasis
• “Fingers” of vegetation have been planted through and around the buildings to
reduce the bulk and scale of the building form.

COMMUNAL OPEN SPACES
A series os inviting spaces have been created to entice residence to utilize their external
environment.
These spaces include:
• Large open lawn areas for free play.
• BBQ Shelters & Facilities
• Swimming Pool Recreation Precinct
• Seating Nooks for both small and large groups.
• Grassed Mounds.
