Information response

17. Concerns are raised as to whether the existing trees located near at the entrance to the
    basement are able to be retained with the excavation proposed. Further detailed plans are to
    be provided demonstrating the proposed levels and cut required for the driveway and tree

Response
Refer attached amended Traffic engineering report and section 5.2 which provides concept design
