Landscape design and management will promote clear sight lines between areas of vehicle and
pedestrian movement as well as reducing opportunity for concealment and possible assault sites.
Street trees will be clean trunked to an appropriate height and continued to be ‘canopy lifted’ in
accordance with an appropriate arboriculture program for tree management. Shrubs selected,
particularly those for public areas will be chosen to also maintain appropriate site lines (generally
below 700mm).

Pedestrian and vehicles have been designated separate entries to the building from Hasting Street
minimising vehicle / pedestrian potential conflict.

07 Services and Utilities

Hastings Street power is underground therefore minimising potential tree / powerline conflict.
Street trees will be located suitable distances from street lamps, underground services and
stormwater catchment pits as per Councils existing Landscape Master Plan for Hasting Street and
code requirements.
