                 Furthermore, no sectional drawings have been submitted to demonstrate the relationship
                 between the proposed development, the existing natural ground levels and adjoining
                 properties, particularly those lots that have not been subject to filling works to achieve flood
                 immunity. Based off the information provided, Council is unable to verify the nominated
                 building height or assess the extent of any filling relative to the surrounding land.
                 Information Required
                 1.     Provide written confirmation of the methodology used to determine existing natural
                        ground level across the site, including any assumptions and reference survey data relied
                        upon.
                 2.     Provide a detailed survey plan prepared by a suitably qualified surveyor showing existing
                        contours, spot levels and natural ground levels across the site sufficient to corroborate
                        the nominated ground levels shown on the architectural plans.
                 3.     Provide sectional plans through the development clearly identifying natural and finished
                        ground levels, and the relationship between the proposed development and adjoining
                        properties.


                 Item – Front Fence and Gateway
                 The proposed pedestrian entrance and front fencing present as a hard-surfaced element
                 within the streetscape and impact landscaping. While it is acknowledged that the site has a
                 relatively narrow frontage, opportunities exist to improve the streetscape presentation by
                 increasing landscaping within the front setback and reducing the visual dominance of built
                 form along the frontage in compliance with Performance Outcome PO17 of the Medium
                 Density Residential Zone Code.
                 Information Required
                 4.     Provide amended plans, including variation to the front fence alignment and consider
                        opportunities to consolidate the pedestrian entrance and gateway to increase landscape
                        opportunities along the frontage.


                 Item – Retaining Wall and Fencing Treatments, Amenity
                 The earthworks plans indicate retaining walls ranging from approximately 0.5m to 1.2m in
                 height along common boundaries to facilitate filling of the site. However, it is unclear whether
                 fencing is proposed above the retaining walls and, if so, the resulting overall height. As a
                 consequence, Council is unable to fully assess the visual and physical relationship between
                 the development and adjoining properties, particularly with respect to impacts on private open
                 space areas, outlook and amenity.

                 Information Required
                 5.     Provide a retaining and fencing plan and provide supporting information to greater
                        understand the site’s relationship with adjoining properties areas of private open space
                        and habitable rooms.


                 Item – Site Cover
                 The outdoor area-built form is to be included in site cover calculations. Site cover is to remain
                 compliant with 40%.
