       8. Ensure each unit complies with outcomes of the Visitor Accommodation
          Code AO23.2 which relates to private open space.

The Acceptable Outcomes seek for a minimum of 6m2 of private open space with a
dimension of 2m. The smallest balcony is unit 2-01B, which is 3.5m wide and 16m2 in size.
All other units have been substantially amended to provide for good sub-tropical design
elements, which include open courtyards at the front and rear of the living spaces to
promote air flow. This is compliant with the Sustainable Building Works Code, which seek
to reduce the reliance on air conditioning units through the apartment design, as well as
promoting indoor / outdoor living.

       9. The proposed hydrant and pump to Thomas Street appears to be
          excessively large and presents a poor outcome to the street. Provide
          further justification for the size of the structure and further details to
          make it less obtrusive to the street.

The design changes have allowed for more landscaping to the frontages and a revised
basement layout to incorporate services. The main hydrant booster has been relocated
to Albert St with no services presenting to Gympie Tce and Thomas St.
