4.    Provide a carparking and traffic generation report prepared by a suitably qualified
      person addressing all the proposed uses on the site including those in the central
      facilities building and the anticipated demand from members of the public. The report
      should demonstrate that sufficient carparking and manoeuvring areas have been
      provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by
      the development.
5.    A site survey plan indicating the building footprints.
6.    An amended site plan indicating the area of vegetation to be retained within Lot 10 in
      accordance with approval 23118DA that created the subject lot and in particular
      approved plan titled “Vegetation Clearing Plan”, or alternatively, provide justification
      as to why this area may be unable to be retained.
7.    Details indicating the extent of any filling required along the southwestern boundary
      and the proposed landscaped treatment adjacent to the parkland.

      analysis of the building height at its highest points.
11.   Please amend the colour palate proposed for the buildings to enhance their visual
      integration withe the site’s vegetated setting. The use of white to accentuate the
      buildings’ framing is considered to conflict with the outcomes sought under the
      Superseded Strategic Plan to minimise the visual impact of structures and it is
      requested that muted, natural tones be used.
