Figure 21 – Car parking improvements (Fixed landscape – green dot & bioretention – pink dot)

As shown, the northern car park is effectively split in half, with the majority of the car park now
including small-scale, landscaped bio-retention areas which reduce any perceived visual dominance of
the car park, whilst having a functional purpose as part of the stormwater quality treatment train. This
also responds to Issue 7, sub-item 31 and Issue 8, sub-item 38.

There are additional elements that when viewed holistically ensure the bulk of building 3 will only be
partially visible in the early years of the development but with maturing vegetation will offer only
interrupted glimpses of the structures. These include:

•     Improved entry experience with Noosa style dense landscape character to Hofmann Drive – Also
      see response to Issue 8, sub-item 35b

•     Additional car parking landscape near Tenancy T02 northern east corner;

•     A 95m long, 2.5 wide infill shared public pathway around the eastern perimeter which completes a
      missing link at Hofmann Drive (and as identified in the Local Government Infrastructure Plan);

•     Removal of signage podiums from Building 3 in favour of more interesting roof forms including fly-
      over skillion roof awnings with integrated signage elements; and
