LANDSCAPING CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Landscaping Code,
Traffic and Parking is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) retains, reinforces and enhances the natural landscape character of the site, streetscape and
       locality;
   b) retains existing vegetation and other natural features for their ecological, aesthetic and
       cultural values;
   c) ensures the revegetation and rehabilitation of native wildlife habitat and riparian zones to
       protect and enhance ecological and biodiversity values;
   d) facilitates water management including on-site detention and the efficient infiltration of
       stormwater;
   e) enables the establishment of appropriate plantings that are of a scale and density
       commensurate with building height, bulk and scale to buffer development and conflicting land
       uses;
   f) enhances privacy between dwelling units and accommodation units;
   g) accommodates the outdoor recreation needs of dwelling occupants; and
   h) provides adequate vegetation treatment to steep slopes and unstable landforms.

Comment: Landscaped areas are shown on the proposal plans. The Landscaping Code will be
assessed as part of a subsequent Operational Works application.
