     eastern portion of the building to 8.5 metres on the west. This roof line and eave provides sun
     protection and shading for the building and upper level terrace and is well is setback from the
     edge of the upper level landscape terrace.

      The upper level deck on the adjoining Regatta development to the east of the site is located
      approximately 6.3 metres from the frontage and will not be affected by the upper level roof line
      encroachment which at 7.95 metres is behind this deck.

      Due to height of the third storey roof it is unlikely to impact on the amenity of the units to the
      west of the site.

      b) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses; The reduced third storey roof setback to
      Gympie Terrace does not impact on the adjoining unit developments and is consistent with the
      range of setbacks and buildings that have been developed in the surrounding area as detailed
      in Figure 2 below. Due to the roof line having a height of over 12 metres it will not impede or
      overshadow adjoining units

      c)allow space for required vehicle parking; - All carparking provided on site and not affected
      by the reduced upper level roof line.

      d) preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed building; - Existing mature
      trees at rear of the site to be retained where possible. There is no vegetation at the front or
      sides of the site.

      e) allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings; - Reduced third level roof line
      does not impact on ground level landscaping. Due to the provision of carparking in a basement
      the development provides substantial areas that are able to be planted rather than used for
      driveways and parking.

      f) maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the
      street; - As detailed in figure 2 above, the existing development along Gympie Terrace exhibits
      reduced setbacks to this frontage. The proposal substantially complies with the required
      setbacks as the lower levels are setback over 6 metres from the street frontage and the front
      intrusion relates to the upper level roof form.

      The proposed development will provide greater articulation and landscaping as well as a more
      lightweight building to the Gympie Terrace frontage especially when compared to the existing
      development such as the Regatta complex.

      g) avoid large areas of continuous wall planes by varying the building setbacks and using
      appropriate techniques to provide visual relief; - The entire frontage is well articulated with large
      decks and roof lines that provide visual relief.
