2. PROPOSED CHANGES
This change application     seeks to amend the  latest change application   (Council reference:    MCU23/0094.03 and
OPW23/0113.03) decided by Council on 5 June 2026 . Following the site visit completed with Council on          7
October 2026, this change application seeks to:      -

◼   Amend Schedule 1, Material Change of Use, Condition          3 to incorporate amended landscape plans that show
    an amended boundary fencing arra     ngement adjacent to Lot 2 on SP208257       ; and

◼   Amend Schedule 1, Material Change of Use, Condition 41(a) to reflect the as                    - constructed footpath width,
    being 2.0 metres; and


2.1. Boundary Fence
As discussed during the site inspection,       there are limitation s with the existing fencing condition as well
as an opportunity to improve the current boundary fence arrangement that is proposed                between the subject
site and Lot 2 on SP208257. The lim itation s include: -

◼   the Applicant has been unable to adequately verify the structural capacity of the existing blockwork
    wall with the adjoining landowner      . Accordingly, the Applicant c        an not extend the height of the              existing
    wall (and thereby increase structural load         on that wall);

◼   The natural ground level of the adjoining land is below the finished surface level of the                 common driveway
    adjacent to Building 7       . As such,    a 2.0 metre high common boundary fence (measured from the level of the
    adjoining land) will not be as effective with respect to privacy and headlight screen                 ing as a 2.0 metre
    high fence measured from the finished            surface level of the common driveway).

In view of the above, it is proposed        to leave the existing boundary fencing          and construct a new 2.0 metre
high and ~ 17.5 metre long acoustic fence        at the southern termination of the car parking and circulation
areas adjacent to Building 7 (see       Extract 1 below).

The fence will be     a double lapped timber fence, with the front and backside painted                      in accordance the
perimeter fencing   specification (i.e. FT5       – Resene Black White) . The proposed fence will be offset from the
common boundary and will sit atop the internal retaining wall located at the southern end of the car parking
and circulation   area .

A rock - lined swale is located between the common boundary and the                 proposed fence (which sits atop a retaining
wall) . Twelve (12) Trachelospermum jasminoides               ( Star Jasmine ) are propose d to be planted within the swale,
with the intent that the jasmine will climb              the southern side of the fence that will be visible to adjoining
properties. A trellis or starting wire will be installed                   on the southern (back) side of the fence         to train
the jasmine up the fence.

The fence will be acoustically            constructed to limit noise         transfer,    and written certification will be
provided to Council, as is currently required under Condition 21.
