       b. Include a Species Selection list including the species name, common
       name, mature height, number to be planted, pot size.
       c. Ensure appropriate numbers of species are included.

   21. Provide a full Landscape Plan that includes ground, mid and upper storey
       species within the boundaries to provide adequate screening.

   22. Ensure a minimum width of 2m of landscaping is provided along the two
       street front boundaries.

   23. Ensure screening planting is along the entire length of the boundaries.

Matt Duncan (QAA Approved Consultant since 2011 Level 5 AQF Arborist since 2010)
and Carl Safstrom (Landscape Architect) have worked together to identify all existing trees
within the road reserve. A landscape and engineering design has then been carefully
considered to ensure the protection of the large Cook Pine, Bribie Island Pine, Cassia tree
and Burdekin Plumb tree within the road reserve. Plantings within the setbacks have then
been considered to accompany the existing trees to be retained and assist in
complementing the built form and retaining walls. In this regard, retaining walls have been
reduced in size to a maximum of 1.2m along the boundary to ensure there is no
requirement for retaining works in the road reserve and landscaping above the retaining
walls to protect open space courtyard areas.
