Yes. We have completed numerous projects in Doonan, including in the Valley precinct and Panorama Drive precinct which were recognised at a State level for Landscape Construction excellence in 2023. We are well versed with the Council and Certification requirements for sloping blocks and hardscape construction whilst also possessing a deep understanding of softscaping and the plants that will flourish on acreage in the local environment.

Doonan is unique in that it is part of both the Noosa Shire and Sunshine Coast Regional Councils. Overlays affecting Doonan property mostly relate to Landslide, Bio Diversity and Bushfire. You can check what overlay applies to your property on Sunshine Coast Council's Development I website. You can check what overlay applies to your property on Noosa Shire Council's overlay mapping website. We are familiar with these standard Council processes and can manage this for you.

Depending on the extent of earthworks and hardscaping (retaining walls) you may need building approval. We try and work within the rules where possible, but have strong relationships with our Certifier and Council and manage the process for you with the goal to make it as seamless as possible.

Landscaping acreage property is a different ball game to your average residential landscaping project. Setting the land up correctly for drainage and water flow in the sub tropics is a critical factor and creating property value via earthworks requires heavy machinery. Your Landscaping Contractor should have experience in acreage landscaping and own heavy equipment such as large tipper trucks, excavators (min 4tonne machine) and positracks with varying attachments.
