treated on site via landscaping treatments. Standard water, sewer, electricity and telecommunication
connections will be provided.



   Visitor Accommodation Code
Comment: The proposed hostel development has been assessed against the relevant Specific Outcomes and
Probable Solutions prescribed within Tables 14.33 and 14.37 of the Visitor Accommodation Code within
Appendix B.

properties in terms of building scale and design. Landscaping and screening treatments enhance the
streetscape as well as minimising opportunities for overlooking or covering of pedestrian and private property.

appropriate for the site’s subtropical setting. In conjunction with fine grain architectural features and
contemporary design, the orientation of the development addresses the street (Mary Street) and makes a
positive contribute to the streetscape.
