4.1.7        Private Open Space


            AO11.2 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code requires the
            following provisions for private open space for small dwellings:


            Private open space is provided for each small dwelling at the following rate:
                   1.    at ground level—a minimum of 20m² directly accessed from living
                   spaces and exclusive of clothes drying area; or
                   2.    if above ground level—9m² with a minimum width of 2.5 metres
                   accessed directly from the living spaces.


            All proposed courtyard/backyard areas exceed 20m² exclusive of clothes
            drying areas (P.O.S. for each unit is approximately 50m2).


            As such, it is evident that the proposed development provides sufficient
            private open space for the enjoyment of future residents and guests.


4.1.8        Landscaping Design


            The landscaping design for the proposed development will support and
            complement the built form of the proposal whilst promoting the natural
            environment of the locality. The landscaping theme is attractive, responsive to
            the architectural design, functional, low maintenance, and enhances the
            comfort and safety of users of the site. Please refer to the Design Plans
            included within Appendix C in conjunction with the Landscape Plans prepared
            by Bird Landscape Design and attached at Appendix F of this report for
            detailed information regarding landscaping for the proposed development.


            The total soft landscaping (turf, gardens) provided totals 43.2% of the site
            area, in compliance with AO10.2 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling
            Code.
