electrical or fire infrastructure at the front of the site with Council officers and noted that detailed design
and investigation of such matters has not been undertaken at this early stage of the process. The project
designer notes that there are large setbacks and landscaped areas at the front of the site that can be
used for the provision of such infrastructure. The applicant is willing to consider a condition in this regard.


Item 8: The proposal plans must include replacing and upgrading the existing pathway to 2.0m wide
