 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




b) The proposed PAC is located about 40m from the Walter Hay Drive frontage. For reasons
   already explained, including the extensive tree screening along Walter Hay Drive and
   landscaping being provided towards the front of the building and fronting the staff
   carpark (Area P3), the proposed PAC will not visually dominate the street or the
   surrounding spaces.

c) The proposed PAC is centrally located within the site and well removed from any
   residential premises and will not cause any adverse impacts from overshadowing or
   access to sunlight.

d) When considering the surrounding vegetation in the road reserve close to the site (refer
   Photo 1 – below) the PAC respects the scale of the vegetation about the site when
   considering the view lines at ground level. The proposed PAC is lower in height than the
   existing Sports Hall (Building K) by about 1.450m. Further, the vegetation on the corner
   of the staff carpark (Area P3), including some trees, will continue to grow to provide
   filtered views of existing and proposed built form.

e) The proposed PAC has a maximum building height of two (2) storeys. This is the
   requirement that is to be met and not the acceptable outcome of 8m under AO17.1. It is
   not reasonable or practical for all buildings within a Community Facilities Zone to have a
   height of 8m, in particular for an educational establishment that has particular design
   requirements with a genuine need for larger and more specific building forms, which is
   the case here.
