Original Application Part 11 - Landscape Code Assessment [As Published] · 132008.1787

Landscaping will be designed to compliment and integrate building design as per Council existing
Streetscape Master Plan. Podium planting has been incorporated which will be visible from street
level to soften the bulk and appearance of the building as per code requirements. An appropriate
planting palette has been selected in accordance with horticultural requirements for streetscape and
podium areas. Variation between exposed northern facade (greater salt tolerance) and the
protected southern elevation has been considered in planting design.

O18 Passive Solar Access & Energy Efficiency

The use of numerous tree and shrub plantings will reduce the albedo of hardscape areas (approx
0.55 for new concrete) and provide shade and amenity, for visitors, residents and workers. Planting
to western walls for thermal efficiencies is provided. In addition communal open space areas have a
northern aspect maximising solar orientation for outdoor enjoyment and activity.

O19 Design of Commercial and Retail Space

Landscaping for commercial and retail spaces will soften building bulk, create pleasant settings for
visitors and staff and will function well in an intensively used environment by honouring Councils
existing Streetscape Master Planning for Hasting Street. Any variations required to the existing
streetscape will be undertaken in consultation with Council officers and in accordance with good
landscape design principles and Council policy requirements.
