 Performance Outcome                                  Acceptable Outcomes
           an impediment for pedestrians using
           the footpath                               AO17.4
                                                      N/A – proposal complies.

 Response
 A 1.8 metre high fence will be provided along the front boundary of the site to screen and secure the
 private open space area of Unit 1. The front fencing outcome does not comply with AO17.1 of the Code
 as the fence steps in at a maximum 5.2 metre interval in lieu of 5 metres. Further, the front fence does
 not comply with AO17.2 of the Code as the solid stonewall section of the fence has a height of 1.8
 metres. The remainder of the fencing has lengths not greater than 5 metres and comprises aluminium
 battens to achieve minimum 50% transparency. The overall intent of the front fencing outcome is to
 provide visual and acoustic privacy for the pool area of Unit 1.

 This outcome is appropriate on the basis that the front landscape strip widens to 2 metres in front of
 the 5.2 metre long section of front fencing, which is the 1.8 metre high solid stonewall. As shown on
 the Landscape Plans in Appendix 2, this garden bed will comprise a combination of ground covers,
 shrub species and a palm that is expected to be a mid-rise tree growing up to 6 metres wide at full
 maturity. As such, the non-complying section of front fencing will be suitably screened by landscaping
 such that it will not compromise the visual amenity of the streetscape.

 The proposal complies in full with PO17 of the Code on the following basis:
     •    the front fencing comprises a combination of high-quality stonewall and aluminium battens
          with landscaping provided in front, collectively providing visual interest and contributing to the
          overall attractiveness of the streetscape;
     •    the subject site, adjoining properties and adjacent properties all provide 1.8 metre high solid
          walls along the front boundary. Further, this outcome is common for properties in the wider
          Coral Tree Avenue streetscape. As such, the proposed front fencing outcome is compatible
          with the existing streetscape character;
     •    with sections of permeable batten fencing provided along the street frontage, the proposed
          development will not interfere with the movement of surface stormwater. Further, the solid
          section of fencing abuts a swimming pool, which will absorb any stormwater flows in this
          location in any case. Please refer to the Stormwater Management Plan in Appendix 4 for detail
          around quantity and quality stormwater control;
     •    the permeable sections of front fencing adjacent to the turfed backyard and alfresco of Unit 1
          will support casual surveillance of the street from the subject site; and,
     •    a minimum 2 metre wide deep planted garden bed is provided in front of the solid fence section
          to screen its presence in the streetscape. This garden bed does not encroach into the verge.



As demonstrated above, the development complies with all relevant elements of the Medium Density
Residential Zone Code and no further assessment against the Code is required.
