The CAS allowance of a 3 metre buffer was incorporated in order to restrict peoples access
to the water edge. This area has been now been re-designed, and therefore the provision of
a 3 metre setback is no longer a requirement. Pedestrians will be restricted to a timber
boardwalk and viewing deck constructed to provide adjacent access and viewing
opportunities without damaging the habitat surrounds. It is also noted that the position of
Building B (C) will itself block direct human access to the waters edge.

Building B (C) will also provide the desired shading to this area. This shading will inhibit the
growth of plant species already established in a small area of the pond bank, but this area will
be replanted with more shade-tolerant species.

It is noted that the proposal maintains a 3 metre vertical separation between the habitat area
and nearby Villas.

Attachment 23 includes sketches and sections of this area.

Please provide a copy of the Freshwater Habitat — Landscape Sketch showing the proposed
relative location of C Block. This plan shall ensure that all vegetation shown on the
landscape sketch is maintained in its original location with at least a 3 metre setback from any
vegetation to the closest edge of any projection from the C Block. It is noted that it may be
necessary to relocate C Block to achieve this setback.

Please refer to Attachment 23 which includes sketches and sections of the Freshwater
Habitat including the relative location of Building B (C). It is noted that the CAS did not
require a 3 metre building setback from the Freshwater Habitat, however the proposed
development still maintains a 3 metre vertical separation.

Please provide plans showing the 10 metre setback from the centreline of the creek. These
plans shall show details ensuring that there is no encroachment into the 10 metre creek
Setback zone. It is noted that this requires that no construction works can occur in this 10
metre setback, for example no batters, no excavations, no pipelines, no silt fences or
sediment controls, no diversion drains, no stormwater outlets, no foundations, no retaining
walls, no access for construction etc. are permitted within the 10 metre setback. This may
require certain buildings to be setback further from the creek to ensure construction activities
can be excluded from this area. Please provide plans showing all infrastructure and buildings
Proposed along the creekline and the setbacks achieved from these works.

The amended plans detail the 10 metre setback from the centreline of the creek. The larger
buildings fronting this buffer area have been redesigned and repositioned so as to achieve a
an even greater setback. The building setbacks are summaries as follows:

+ Building F — Building fagade interfaces with 10 metre buffer zone

+ Building G ~ Setback a minimum of 1 metre from 10 metre buffer zone

* Building H - Setback 2 metres from 10 metre buffer zone

+ Building | - Setback 6 metres from 10 metre buffer zone
