Recor provide updated engineering drawings locating the services and exiting timber
retaining wall within the road reserve. The driveway location has been amended in
coordination with the arborist and landscape architect to ensure the retention of the
important trees within the frontage, removal of the existing ‘failing’ timber retaining wall
and establish a landscaped battered reserve in front of the boundary retaining wall (no
higher than 1.2m in height).

Further detail is provided for the new kerb to be established around the frontage to
preserve the exiting trees. Earthworks are required within the Bottlebrush frontage to allow
for the revised design, which provides for two compliant parking spaces and a driveway
that allows for cars to enter and leave the site in a forward gear without scraping the
concrete, and a width of 4m in accordance with RS-050 and RS-051.
