Response to sub-item 13:
As noted earlier in response to Issue 3, sub-item 9, the commercial office (Building 4) includes a
reduction in height from 4 to 3 storeys, being ground floor and 2 storeys, with an overall build height
from finished car park level of 11.9m (excluding rooftop plant and lift overrun).
The prominent position, scale and the tower’s striking sub-tropical design elements mean Building 4
will become a highly recognisable gateway signifying confidence in a resurgent and evolving Shire
Business Centre. The two upper levels are designed to address the contrasting scales of the existing
and future built environment in the vicinity of the building. A reorientated external breakout space on
the north-east corner of level one and defined landscaped garden at the ground plane provides a
significant visual improvement to the streetscape. This modulation to the façade also assists to reduce
any perceived issues with building bulk.

The arrival experience combines the extension of the dense vegetated area of Covenant Y from Eenie
Creek Road with a high-quality public realm that creates a distinct wayfinding experience with a strong
place-making focus and legible connections.
