 Element                      Comments on proposed changes

 Ground floor tenancies       The tenancies on the ground floor have been maintained in terms of
                              their size and location. The tenancy on the western side of the ground
                              level provides continues to address the southern and easterly aspects of
                              the site. The tenancies on the western side of the ground level have
                              been reoriented so that they both address the pedestrian laneways,
                              rather than the road frontage and car parking. However, the reoriented
                              tenancies continue to provide a glazed shopfront to the road and car
                              park frontage to ensure this edge is activated. Overall, the revisions to
                              the ground level provide a more logical layout given all pedestrian
                              access is now provided from the dedicated pedestrian spaces
                              surrounding the site.

 Upper-level tenancies        The tenancies on the ground floor have been maintained in terms of
                              their size and location, with one tenancy located either side of the
                              building core. The tenancy on the western side of the upper has not
                              changed. The tenancy on the eastern side has been altered to improve
                              the usability of the space and also to improve the interaction of this
                              tenancy with the public realm below. This change involves extending
                              the tenancy line out forwards the edge of the building, in lieu of having
                              distinct indoor and outdoor terrace areas which are shown in the
                              approval. On balance, this change is considered an improvement given:
                          ▪     The glazing on the southern and eastern extents is operable, and when
                                climatic conditions permit, will allow this space to be almost fully
                                opened up which is consistent with sub-tropical design principles;
                          ▪     Conversely, when climatic conditions require the space to be enclosed,
                                this can be achieved which maximisers the usability of the tenancy.
                                The current approval would likely result in the outdoor terrace having
                                reduced usability during particular weather events, including storms,
                                rain, wind and heat.

 Architectural changes        It is acknowledged that the proposal seeks to change the architectural
                              approach to the building. Overall, this should be viewed as an important
                              improvement to the design quality of the building. The design provides
                              an architectural form with a greater degree of articulation and variation,
