As can be seen by the table above, the development generally accords with the duplex
provisions of the Planning Scheme.

The large duplex will certainly represent a change in the amenity of the site although given
the use of surrounding land for much larger unit complexes, it should not detract from the
amenity or character of the neighbourhood.

There are numerous tall trees on and about the site, which will assist in screening the duplex
from neighbours and further landscaping would be required as a condition of approval.
