11. Please clarify whether the transformer is located at carpark level or street level.

The transformer is located within the property at the carpark level and behind the proposed
retaining wall. Significant landscaping is proposed to screen the transformer from the south.

Disabled Bus & Pram Access

12. Consider the needs of disabled persons and pedestrians with prams entering and leaving
    the site at the David Low Way entrance.

Disabled access has been considered in the design, in particular with respect to access from
the Unnamed Road into the development. A pedestrian crossing is provided near the footpath
area of the Unnamed Road that allows for access across the entry to the carpark. However, it
is acknowledged that the slope of the Unnamed Road may not meet disabled access grades.

Consequently, advice was sought from an Access Consultant and it is has been decided to
incorporate a lift into the design with at grade access obtained at the David Low Way frontage
(refer Attachment 3). The lift will provide access for disabled persons and for pedestrians
with prams to the ground level from within the Atrium.

Landscaping

13. Please amend the preliminary landscape plan to address all matters identified in Specific
    Outcome O19 of The Landscaping Code, including increased landscaping to David Low
    Way (3m wide minimum) and the intersection with the Unnamed Road, as well as on the
    site generally (min 10% of the development site area).

14. Include additional shade trees (min 100L) within the car park area to provide a minimum
    of 1 shade tree per 4 car parking spaces.

15. Please either retain the 3 x Petalostigma trees in the south east corner of the development,
    or provide suitable areas on the site, which allow for the provision of 100L replacement
    native trees to offset every 1 tree removed, which are clear of water treatment devices.

The landscaping has been increased on site to achieve 10% of site area (refer Site Area Plan
- Attachment 3). Importantly, a significant amount of additional planting is to be provided
to the landscaping areas beside David Low Way. This includes the construction of raised
garden bed that will raise the height of the landscaping near the intersection and partly along
the frontage of the Unnamed Road.

Additional shade trees have also been included within the carpark area as requested (refer
Site Area Plan - Attachment 3).

The three (3) Petalostigma trees in the south east corner of the site are required to be
removed to facilitate development of the land. It is not possible to incorporate these trees into
the development. However, it is intended to replace these trees with at least three (3)
significant native trees in the landscaping bed in the southeast corner of the development to
soften the development and maintain a vegetated streetscape.
