Town Planning Report

23 Bottlebrush Ave, Noosa Heads QLD 4567



As discussed above, the proposed development involves the retention of the large mature eucalyptus
trees at the southern portion of the site’s frontage, thereby will provide significant screening and
amelioration benefits for the site.

    d) provides privacy between uses;

As noted above, the proposed landscaping provides for a series of screening shrubs along the side
boundaries that will assist in promoting privacy between uses and simultaneously support a balance
between natural and built form.

    e) reduces the bulk and scale of development; and

Whilst the proposed landscaping represents a nominal shortfall in the calculated landscape area, the
retention of the existing trees paired with the meticulously designed planters and trees surrounding
the courtyard area support a high amenity outcome for the site that reduces the bulk and scale of the
development as perceived by adjacent properties and the streetscape.

    f)   conceals services, car parking and manoeuvring areas.

The proposed landscaping has been strategically configured to conceal the parking areas and services
where possible, particularly at the frontage planters which comprises a mix of screening shrubs,
softening feature shrubs and climbing species surround the booster. Moreover, the retention of the
existing street tree/s with further assist in concealment at the frontage.

4.5.2 Tree Retention
As discussed above, the proposed development involves the retention of the existing eucalyptus
tree/s present in the verge. This application will implement the same tree protection measures as
outlined in the existing development approval’s arborist approval. Particularly, as outlined in the
approved arborist report, a traditional tree protection zone (TPZ) approach is not achievable for this
site and therefore protection through an exclusion zone consisting of 1m high plastic orange mesh
barrier fencing will be implemented. In addition, trunk prevent comprises of geo fa/20mm thick
hessian and wooden battens strapped/taped to the tree’s trunk with a skirt over the buttress roots
will be utilised.
