Noosa Plan Key Codes

Landscaping softens building bulk and
creates a casual, pleasant setting for
site users and the broader community
by:
(a)    adopting landscape solutions
       that reduce the visual impact
       of building bulk;
(b)    providing canopy trees and
       ancillary shade structures;
(c)    using shrubs and garden
       beds to clearly define
       public      spaces     and
       pedestrian walkways;
(d)    providing areas for public art,
       where appropriate;
(e)    providing outdoor areas with
       seating;
(f)    using screen planting to
       conceal service and
       loading areas;
(g)    making provision for
       outdoor dining areas
       where appropriate, that
       integrate well within the
       streetscape;
(h)    providing       adequate
       screening along the
       perimeters      of    the
       development;
(i)    avoiding the use of
       formal planting design
       for frontage works; and
(j)    providing planting design
       and species selection that
       can endure an intensively
       used environment.
