         (c) retains existing large trees where
             practicable;
         (d) provides privacy between uses;
         (e) reduces the bulk and scale of
             development; and
         (f) conceals services, car parking and
             manoeuvring areas.
 Response
  The proposed development is required to provide 242.4m2 of landscaping overall, with 145.4m2 of this
  area being soft landscapes. The proposal provides 221.3m2 of total landscaping and 176.9m2 of soft
  landscapes. As such, compliance with AO10.2 has not been achieved in full, with the total landscaping
  percentage achieved being 36.5% in lieu of the required 40%. This outcome is justified on the basis
  that the extent of soft landscaping achieved exceeds the minimum required, with 72.97% of the
  required total landscaping being dedicated to turf and deep planted landscapes (in lieu of 60%).
  Further, the proposed development provides ample recreation facilities in the form of hardscapes for
  the enjoyment of residents including pool areas and outdoor entertainment areas.

  The proposed development complies with PO10 of the Code on the following basis:
     •     the private open space areas, that are well in excess of the minimum areas required, enhance
           the liveability of the Dual Occupancy units and promote outdoor living with alfrescos, turfed
           backyards and pool areas that extend the main living spaces for each unit;
     •     the front landscape buffer provided exceeds the minimum width of 1 metre and contributes to
           the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the street;
     •     deep planted landscapes are provided along the side and rear boundaries of the site to enhance
           privacy between the site and adjoining premises;
     •     the proposed development adjoins other residential uses and backs onto dense vegetation on
           the adjoining site to the rear;
     •     the frontage and boundary landscaping achieved as part of the proposal, helps reduce the bulk
           and scale of development. Further, the upper level planters contribute positively to the built
           form and soften the appearance of the development from the adjoining site to the north; and
     •     the driveway, vehicle manoeuvring area and garages are concealed by landscape buffers and
           fencing/gated access.



As demonstrated above, the development complies with all relevant elements of the Dual Occupancy and
Multiple Dwelling Code and no further assessment against the Code is required.



The proposed Dual Occupancy development provides vehicle parking in accordance with Table 9.4.1.4
Minimum parking requirements including end of trip facilities. Further, a review of the Driveways and
Parking Code confirms that the proposed development either complies with, or is able to be conditioned
to comply with, the remaining Acceptable Outcomes of the Code.



The subject site does not contain sloped land. As such, only minimal earthworks are required to construct
the proposed development. Overall, no areas of non-compliance were identified when assessing the
proposed development against this Code.
