1.0 OVERVIEW
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Landscape Guidelines is to provide a minimum set of standards that shall be applied throughout the Airport with regard to landscape design, treatments and maintenance for both leasehold and BAC land. These guidelines have been written to:

Support the aims of the Airport Landscape Masterplan. Satisfy the aims and objectives of the BAC Development Control Plan. Ensure landscape issues are considered early in the design process. Provide a minimum and consistent set of parameters for both BAC and outside designers to follow. Minimise maintenance and risk hazards.
In general the following Airport landscape aims should be addressed in all designs and are listed below. 1. Character To improve the Airport City physical and visual landscape character to reflect and contribute to the regional environment, and provide a distinctive identity that will inspire and attract visitors and enhance the experience of travel and use of the airport. Environment To ensure that the Environment and Built Landscape of the Airport City and its surrounds are protected, maintained and enhanced through sustainable design and development practices, processes and outcomes. Access and Mobility To encourage, maintain and enhance access and mobility for all users of the public realm within the Airport Precinct to reduce the impact of the motor vehicle and promote a healthy lifestyle. Amenity Create a sense of place and promote a sense of community through the improvement of the amenity of the public realm. Costs and Management To encourage commercial lease interest and optimise the cost benefits of the landscape, through outstanding design and integration in both the private and public realm, to achieve the development requirements of stakeholders.

1.2 Approval Process

All Landscape Plans are to be in accordance with the approval process outlined in the BAC Planning Procedures and Development Guidelines, which includes Development Approval (DA) and Building Approval (BA). All plans should be prepared by a landscape architect or suitably qualified landscape designer, and be of a high quality for ease of understanding during assessment, tender, and construction.
4.
These plans shall have all information to convey the landscape design to the appropriate detail and shall provide the following:

Date, north point and scale Project description and address Applicants project/file number Name and address of landscape consultant Locality plan Legend
1.3 Landscape Plan Documentation

Landscape Plans can be divided into 3 categories, which correspond with the design and approval process. These include Masterplans, Development Approval Plans and Building Approval plans. 1.3.1 Landscape Masterplans These documents will occur for each of the precinct layouts, and for any larger lot developments within each of the precincts. They should address the aims and objectives adopted in the BAC Landscape Masterplan document. They should confirm design direction for items such as major views, focal points, entrances, vegetation retention, environmental areas, plazas, open space, drainage, and movement for pedestrians and cyclists must be addressed. Furthermore, a style guide outlining detailed materials and finishes, and plant selection to correspond with those nominated in the LANDSCAPE MASTERPLAN shall be completed to ensure staged development has a consistent landscape theme. 1.3.2 Development Approval Plans These plans are to be produced at the DA phase as mentioned previously. They are generally site specific but can cover both leasehold land for specific tenancies and BAC retained land for BAC works such as carparks and terminal improvements. To accompany the layout, sufficient notes referring to the drawing or a separate landscape intent statement shall be required to convey the design philosophy. Development Approval plans shall identify the following: Existing site features or vegetation to be retained/removed. Proposed grading, levels and mounding. Proposed location and function of public and private space. Locations and types of soft landscape finishes inc, turf, new planting, revegetation, etc. Locations and types of hard landscape finishes inc. plazas, paths, play zones, etc. Locations of other site elements such as buildings, carparks, fencing, signage, entry statements, and notations of how the landscape integrates with them. Drainage/water sensitive urban design treatments.
5.
1.3.3 Building Approval Plans These plans are to be submitted to the BAC for approval to allow building works to begin. Refer to the BAC Development Guidelines (2000) for detailed requirements and process. The Building Approval plans are a detailed set of landscape plan/s and details, which contain sufficient information to understand all of the proposed landscape works during assessment and to construct the works. These might include but are not limited to, surface finishes and levels, plant species sizes, quantities and locations, irrigation, structure location and design, water features, vegetation retention/removal, furniture selections, and drainage. Once approved these plans will form part of the BAC construction approval.
6.
2.0 GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN

This section of the document outlines all of the generic performance criteria and the specific landscape requirements that must be addressed in all landscape designs. The development requirements of this guide relate to the following headings and will provide both written and graphic interpretations and regulation of the landscape requirements:

Character Access, safety and security Environmental Considerations Landform Drainage and watercourses Plant Selection and Planting Soft Landscape Works Irrigation Hard Landscape Works Utilities and Services Public Access Areas Road Reserves Carparks Landscape Buffer/Screening Maintenance
Landscape design issues that are site/development specific are addressed in Section 3.0 Specific Landscape Zones
2.1 Character

The Airport character is intended to be of a subtropical nature and be sympathetic to its context of greater Moreton Bay. Landscape design should provide interest and vitality through form, texture, colour and a sense of place. Detailed character of Number 1, International Terminal and Domestic Terminals shall be as per their specific code. Strong identities should be promoted at all entrances to precincts and leasehold land.
2.2 Access, Safety and Security

Designs must be as per the current States Disability and Anti Discrimination Acts and all relevant Australian Standards. The landscape shall ensure good visibility along all paths. Landscape Design to incorporate crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles. Minimise dense screening beside paths. Ensure all surfaces are stable and do not exceed maximum gradients. Street trees to have a minimum 1.2m clear trunk at time of planting and 2m clear trunk at maturity. All landscape design shall allow maintenance staff to carry out their duties in a safe and efficient manner.
7.
2.3 Environmental Considerations

All construction projects with associated landscape will require an Environmental Management Plan and a Vegetation Management Plan for those works. Where part of a larger building/road works project the management plans can be incorporated into the overall document. Vegetation Retention 2.3.1 Vegetation Retention

Landscape designs will retain any vegetation of environmental, aesthetic or cultural significance. Environmental significance is noted in accordance with the BAC Environmental Management Strategy (AES) 2004. Trees that have a diameter of 300mm or greater at a height of 1m above the ground are deemed to be significant, and shall not be removed without BAC approval. Significant trees/retained vegetation will be integrated into the design to provide: Landmarks or landscape features, Shaded areas, Wildlife habitats, Visual amenity, and In the case of a road reserve, a generous footpath zone. Future development must not encroach into the canopy drip line of the retained tree. Suitable pruning of the retained tree is required for all trees which overhang roads and other public spaces.
2.3.2 Clearing

Clearing of vegetation shall be allowed for any weed species, dead trees, those with structural damage or that nominated in the Undesirable Species List Approval for clearing of all other plants must be obtained from the Environment Coordinator prior to removal All trees for retention and removal must be noted on approval plans
2.3.3 Rehabilitation

Existing vegetation that is removed from outside of nominated construction areas must be replaced with similar species Rehabilitation planting requirements are to be as per section 6.0
8.
2.4 Landform
Due to the sites predominately flat nature it is encouraged to incorporate level changes by way of mounding, swales, walls and batters to increase the visual interest on the ground plane. They should be designed to provide: Visual amenity or focal elements, Screening or transition between spaces, Guide direction of movement, Provide some sound attenuation, and Assist with controlling stormwater drainage. 2.4.1 Mounding and Batters

Designed to be an integral part of the landscape character. Mounding should vary in height and slope. Should provide the appearance of being a natural part of the landscape. Where mounding is located in a plaza space, accentuating the mound/batter into a sculptural form is desirable Maximum grades include: Turf areas 1:4 Planting areas 1:3
2.4.2 Swales

Desirable to integrate swales with mounding to accentuate the changes in topography. Finishes can include, rock lining, rock facing or turfed. Turfed swales should only occur in large grassed areas and require subsurface drainage. Max grades are: 1:4 to sides 1:100 longitudinal Ensure swales flow to suitable discharge point and do not pool water or cause mosquito or bird strike issues.
2.5 Drainage and Watercourses

Retain natural/existing watercourses and drainage channels especially where significant vegetation and habitat is existing along its edge. Realignment of channels must be submitted for engineering and landscape approval prior to any works. Water Sensitive Urban Design principles shall be adopted to increase water quality and reduce stormwater runoff by: Draining hard surfaces to permeable ones Providing large turf and garden areas for infiltration Integrating swales, basins, bioretention trenches Utilise natural hard materials and organic edges rather than concrete channels. Swales that have continuous water flow shall not be turfed for maintenance reasons. Ensure that suitable hard finishes such as gravel and planting are provided.
9.
2.6 Plant Selection and Planting

2.6.1 Planting Themes
Planting shall represent the climate of South East Queensland, the location of the site and the expected visual appearance of the region. Therefore planting themes are to be generally subtropical in nature. All plant selections should be based on the BAC recommended Plant List and should also address the growing media available, drainage, leaf litter issues and ongoing maintenance requirements. At the major centres, plazas and high intensity spaces on the site planting should represent this and provide a varied visual aesthetic, which relates to its use. These zones shall be higher in maintenance requirements and water usage. Other areas across the site shall be lower in intensity with local/native species which are still representative of the region and site but are less maintenance intensive
2.6.2 Structure and Density
Ensure plant selection provides a structure within the landscape that enables: Framing good views, Screening poor views, Provide shading to pedestrians, building facades and carparks, Providing windbreaks to public spaces, Reduce scale of buildings, and Provide human scale within streetscapes. Planting bed locations must take into account Spatial constraints, The mature size of the proposed plant, and The nature of the proposed plants root system. Density of planting must allow planting beds to be full at the time the plants have reached maturity. Planting beds which are sparse are not acceptable. A 3-tiered planting structure is desirable. This includes trees/palms for shade and vertical emphasis, shrubs for screening at a variety of heights and groundcovers to reduce weed growth and provide visual interest.
2.6.3 Size and Quality Plant sizes for areas of high impact will provide the visual emphasis required of such locations. Therefore tree and palm plantings in feature areas will be semi mature in size:
Feature Trees (200L) These trees would occur at the entrance areas to buildings, within major plazas, around the terminals and at Number 1, at all precinct entry statements and along major movement corridors. Frontage Trees (100L) These trees might occur at the street frontage edge within leasehold land
10.
Generally plant sizes acceptable at time of planting for all other development areas are:

Trees Palms Shrubs Groundcovers Wetlands
45L 45L 200mm 140mm Flawa strips
In revegetation zones where public visual amenity is low the following plant sizes are acceptable:

Walls or signage located within roundabouts are to be a minimum 3m from the kerb edge, and shall be assessed on an individual basis for safety by the BAC. Turfing shall only occur on roundabouts which are 10m or larger in diameter.
19.
Mounding to roundabouts should not exceed 1m in height outside of the sightlines. Irrigation shall be provided to ensure long term sustainability and appearance.
2.12.8 Safety and Sightlines

Planting in road reserves, medians and roundabouts shall not restrict visibility of pedestrians, cyclists and oncoming cars. Pedestrian crossing must not be obscured by build outs in the road or by tree placement. Unsignalled intersections must not be visually obstructed by build outs or tree placement. Sightlines in roundabouts are to satisfy engineering requirements.
2.13 Carparks

Carparks are large areas of hard surface which without landscaping are hot and exposed to the elements. Ensure carpark arrangement is sited correctly to allow: Adequate planting zones, Adequate buffering, Reduces visual impact, Allows safe and efficient pedestrian movement, Incorporates WSUD principles, and Provides shade. All trees planted must be a minimum of 45L. Tree planting positions must allow a canopy which provides extensive shade areas. Carpark layout should be positioned in a north-south orientation to ensure all carparks are shaded at some time in the day (east-west will allow shade to the southern side of the tree planting only). Trees are to be positioned at a maximum spacing of 1 per 8 carparks. Trees can be aligned in a sentinel or as a staggered arrangement. Staggered arrangement is preferred if carpark positions can be sacrificed. Planting areas for trees must be in deep planting zones of a minimum of 3m2. Tree planting shall have a minimum clear trunk 2m at maturity. Understorey planting to have a maximum height of 1m to enable visibility through to carpark. Where a carpark exceeds 300m2 at least 5% of the total carpark area will be dedicated to landscape. Where desire lines are apparent through carparks, pedestrian paths are to be incorporated and designated crossing points and equitable access will be provided. Where possible stormwater drainage across the carpark should be directed into WSUD swales and bioretention trenches. Where possible incorporate swales and mounding into the carpark landscapes. Carpark frontages to roads to have a 2m wide minimum landscape planting zone.
2.14 Landscape Buffers and Screening

S.P.L.A.T. May 2006 ISSUE D 20. Brisbane Airport Landscape Guidelines
Buffer zones are to be utilised in a number of situations. These include: As screening to undesirable land uses, Screening along busy road frontages, Protection of significant vegetation, Protection of watercourses, Providing wildlife corridors, and Act as windbreaks. Buffers should visually screen or filter undesirable views or land uses Buffers should not be a continuous arrangement of the same planting scheme. A more naturalistic chaotic arrangement is preferred with smaller groupings of similar species Screening should occur between industrial and major movement corridors such as Airport drive Buffer planting should be a minimum 6m wide to ensure adequate height and depth of planting Mounding should be utilised as part of the buffer to increase height and act as sound attenuation Landscape buffers are to be a combination of screen tree, canopy tree and understorey planting
2.15 Maintenance

Landscape design must be cognisant of the ongoing maintenance implications Landscape works with suitable species selection and a thick mulch cover will reduce maintenance by suppressing weeds and retaining water Landscape works to leasehold land must be effectively maintained to best horticultural standards. Maintenance costs must be addressed when selecting plant species.

3.0 SPECIFIC LANSDCAPE ZONES

3.1 Core Areas
The core areas include the areas of the Airport Precinct. These are: 1. 2. 3. International Terminal Domestic Terminal No. 1 Airport Drive
Each of these core areas will provide for a working and visiting community and will have to provide pedestrian amenity, vehicle legibility and landscape visual aesthetic. The intensity of development is perceived to be higher and therefore the following guidelines will take precedence over other general guidelines where a conflict might occur. This guide should be read in conjunction with the previous guidelines for planting, soft landscape works, hard landscape works and irrigation. Building form, site, scale and interest affect the public space (landscape) of a commercial area and should be addressed appropriately and in conjunction with the landscape designs. Enclosure of space and overshadowing should be investigated thoroughly. Landscape treatments must be of the highest quality and a minimum of 15% of the site area including entrances, pedestrian areas and carparks must be provided. 3.1.1 Pedestrian Zones

Pedestrian zone is generally at street level. Easy access to transport is essential. A minimum 3m wide setback is provided for pedestrians to allow for movement and standing areas. Setback is unencumbered for its entire width and length with outdoor dining lease areas excluded from this zone. All pavement levels between setback area and footpath are to match with no lips or steps. Stepped building setbacks are encouraged to provide variety of spaces. Conflict between pedestrians and high speed vehicle movements must be avoided.
3.1.2 Pedestrian Shelters

Footpaths and pathways must be protected from rain and sun by continuous shelter which also caters for street trees and other landscaping. All covered paths must also have adequate lighting to meet the Australian Standards. Awnings/shelters between adjoining property uses (where developed in stages) must align. Heights of shelter must provide suitable protection from sun and rain, while still ensuring a human scale. Shelters/awnings must have 0.5m clearance to any tree trunk. Shelters can be attached to building facades and cantilevered over pedestrian zone or as a free standing element which does not impede pedestrian movement.
22.
3.1.3 Vistas, Sun and Wind Impacts

Ensure all vistas to runways, terminals and significant natural views are maintained and promoted. Landscape design must be cognisant of the effects of the building design on sun shading and wind and shall work to minimise any detrimental effects it might have. Do not cause additional major shadowing in public spaces if building shadowing is significant. Provide wind breaks to pedestrian zones. Shade trees must be provided through the development to shade public spaces, pedestrian zones and car parking.
3.1.4 Public Space
Public spaces, which relate to the size and scale of the core area development must be provided in accordance with the BAC Landscape Masterplan and be integrated into the overall urban design. Public spaces can range from small intimate seating to large plazas and should cater for a variety of experiences. Furniture such as seating, tables, bollards, signs, bins and telephones should be included in the layout. Finishes, materials and acceptable gradients are as per the Hard Landscape Guidelines and Safety and Security Guidelines.
3.2 Business Areas

The Business Areas within these guidelines are as noted in figure 13.4 from the BAC Masterplan 2003. They include: 1. Export Park 2. Export Park West 3. Da Vinci 4. Banksia Place (portion) 5. Number 1 6. Domestic Terminal The core development areas listed above may have some ancillary business development on the extremities of their zones, which would be more applicable under the Business guides. Guidelines for these areas are as follows:

A minimum 10% of the lease site must be landscaped. Development theme to provide an office park environment especially in Export Park West and Banksia Place where casuarinas plantation exists. Utilise hard landscape finishes to ensure equity of access and enable easy movement. Retain existing significant vegetation. Reduce the impact/scale of buildings with mounding and screen planting. Integrate buildings and streetscape with awnings, pergolas, mounding and grouped plantings. Single street plantings to be protected. Provide landscape design for the appreciation of all users. Provide screening and planting to car parks as per carpark guidelines.
23.
Reduce energy consumption in buildings and heat for pedestrians by providing shade plantings along western and northern frontages. Provide adequate lighting to maintain safety. Ensure materials and finishes are as per Masterplan. Landscape areas must be located where planting will ameliorate the view of the development from public vantage points. Landscape must make a positive contribution to the streetscape. On site recreation areas for workers to be integrated and provide a safe all weather seating environment, which is separate from the public. Ensure good surveillance of building and car park is maintained. Main pedestrian access to the building is easily identified from the street. Vehicular and pedestrian access is separated. Provide buffer zones around buildings, which blur the edges and boundaries between buildings. Screen planting and mounding along Airport Drive boundary is required to all above precincts to ensure a solid buffer is provided and therefore highlights the precinct entries.
3.3 Light Industry and General Industry Areas

Due to the bulky nature of such zonings, landscape solutions on Industrial land parcels must be located to reduce the visual impact of the building and required car parking and loading zones. Refer to figure 13.4 from the BAC Masterplan 2003 for the relevant areas. Guidelines for these areas are as follows:

At least 5% of the site is to be landscaped Retain existing vegetation that will contribute to the overall site appearance. Road frontages have a minimum 3m wide landscape planting zone Car parks to comply with car park guidelines Large spreading trees are to be provided at the road frontage boundary to ensure that 50% is visually covered at time of maturity. A 3 tiered planting scheme shall be provided at all times Ensure a strong link between the street and the office front door Site the building to be energy conscience Provide planting to western and northern facades to reduce building heat loading Tall columnar tree species to be utilised as screening along all rear boundaries On site recreation areas for workers to be integrated and provide a safe all weather seating environment which is separate from the public Buffer planting to all non road frontage boundaries to be 2m wide Ensure good surveillance of building and car park is maintained Planting design at the entrance to the building and surrounds should provide emphasis and be sub tropical in nature. All other planting apart from the building entry and surrounds should be low maintenance Screen planting and mounding along Airport Drive boundary is required to all above precincts to ensure a solid buffer is provided and therefore highlights the precinct entries.
24.
3.4 International Terminal

The International Terminal landscape is recognised, by the key stake holders of the BAC, as a major landscape feature which enhances the visual amenity of the whole airport and provides a unique character for the International Terminal precinct. It is considered to be one of the key focal points for the future commercial development within the Brisbane Airport and is programmed for extensive development and terminal expansion. Furthermore the International Terminal is the first and last taste of Brisbane and Australia that international travellers are exposed to. The International Terminal however is located on one of the sandiest and nutrient deficient soil at the airport. The International Terminal, due to the Precincts relative importance within the Brisbane Airport and with consideration of the quality of the existing site condition, is therefore a specific landscape zone with specific landscape requirements. The following guidelines are specific to the International terminal. Where these guidelines differ from the General Landscape Design guidelines the International Terminal guidelines will take precedence. The International Terminal landscape will be governed by the general landscape guidelines and the following specific guidelines: Character (refer item 2.1) o Develop on the existing character of the International Terminal o Strengthen the mounded landscape form to promote the uniqueness of the precinct. o Promote the distinctiveness of the native sub-tropical vegetation of Brisbane and Southeast Queensland. o Use lush sub-tropical vegetation to the perimeter of the building and to major entrances and pedestrian movement zones. o Utilise more drought tolerant sub-tropical species within the landscape zones further away from the buildings. o Utilise the Landscape Guidelines Species List as a basis for species selection. Species not included on the species list will be assessed as to their appropriateness with regard to the following criteria: native to the Brisbane and Southeast Queensland area; sub-tropical in form and appearance; drought tolerance; and Plant Selection and Planting (refer item 2.6) o Planting themes (refer to item 2.6.1) o Structure and density (refer to item 2.6.2) o Size and Quality As the International Terminal is of extremely high impact planting in this precinct will be semi mature sizes. Advanced Feature Trees (Ex-ground stock). These trees would occur at major nodal and focal points within the terminal. Feature Trees (400L). These trees would occur at the entrance areas to buildings, within the major plazas and at the precinct entry statements and along the major corridors. Frontage trees (200L). These trees will occur at the street frontage edges. Generally plant sizes acceptable at time of planting for all other areas of the International terminal are: Trees 100L Palms 100L Shrubs 300mm Groundcovers 140mm@ 4/m2
Size Ex-Ground Generally Type Ex-ground stock shall be supplied Trees in healthy condition and preferred form with a minimum root ball
