4.3 Landscaping Code

The mixture of mature tree planting, low dense shrubs and grass cell pavers ensure the proposed car
park meets the Overall Outcomes of the Landscaping Code. Relevant Specific Outcomes and Probable

Solutions are identified below.

a Rep BAD

 

$1.1 Requires a minimum of 15% of the site to be
landscaped, with the road front boundary to achieve an
average 2 metre width of planting.

These minimum requirements are both exceeded, with
almost 100% of the site surface treated with pervious
grass and plantings and a frontage characterised by
stepped car parking setbacks between zero and 6
metres containing a mixture of mature trees and dense
shrubs.

 

$1.2 Landscaping is designed, planted and maintained
in accordance with PSP3 Landscaping Plants and
Guidelines.

The Landscape Plan prepared by Place Planning Design
Environment and included as part of this submission
has been prepared in accordance with PSP3.

 

$2.3 Plants are grouped in mulched beds rather than
planted individually to provide for optimum growing
conditions and less maintenance.

Significant planter beds have been allowed for around
the perimeter of the site, as well throughout the car
parking bays. This allows for the clumping of planting.

 

$2.6 Alternatives to impervious pavement are provided
and are located where landscaping and existing
vegetation will benefit from increased infiltration of
rainwater.

The proposed pervious grass cell surface of the car
parking area as well as the significant garden irrigation
reservoirs demonstrates the proposal has been
designed with careful consideration to the utilisation of
rainwater run-off for landscaping areas.

 

04 Landscaping is designed and located to maximise
the safety and security of public and private areas.

The garden beds surrounding the perimeter of the site
contain a mixture of low shrubs and clean trunk mature
trees. This planting plan ensures that the pedestrian
pathways linking the parking area to the surrounding
Community Facilities maintain visual connectivity, thus
providing safety and security to their users. Further,
the setback of the mature planting from the proposed
driveway access point allows for adequate view lines
along David Low Way and the intersecting pedestrian
pathway.

 

 

28.1 One advanced canopy tree (a minimum of 100

litres pot size) is provided for every 6 car parking spaces.

 

Six 100L advanced canopy trees have been provided
throughout the proposed garden beds. These have
been positioned to ensure visual connectivity is
maintained between the parking area and neighbouring
community facilities, whilst providing shading for
parked cars.
