               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant seeks to amend the condition to update the Elm Street landscaping plans with new
               plans to reflect current conditions and include a new arborist report as the approved document.
               The applicant has provided civil drawings documenting the extent of works required to facilitate
               stormwater overland flow paths.
               The applicant states “TMR have provided a renewal to conditional approval TMR16-018981 to
               carry out the necessary drainage works along the boundary of Elm Street. The arborist impact
               assessment supports the removal of all trees existing where the swale is required to be reinstated.
               This will ensure that the swale works can be successfully completed and mitigate any future
               disturbance of the swale. Proposed replanting where the swale is located is in line with the
               arborist’s recommendations, refer to Appendix C for landscape drawings.
               There are additional trees outside of the swale that are in poor health and are recommended to be
               removed. The assessment outlines the trees of which are in Council’s jurisdiction, as well as the
               trees within TMR’s jurisdiction. TMR provided advice that they have no objection to the removal of
               vegetation within the road corridor that is impacting the property provided the relevant approvals
               are obtained from council. The landscape plans reflect the removal as such and provide proposed
               replacement species, refer to Appendix C.
               The amended landscape plans propose buffer planting along the boundary that is suitable for the
               constraints of the area. The proposed vegetation is inclusive of species that will grow to reasonable
               heights and do not have roots that will impact the existing acoustic fence. The chosen species also
               consider the drainage works to ensure that the swale won’t be impacted.”

               Assessment of Request
               It is considered reasonable to accept the findings of the arborist report and civil works required and
               support the change in landscaping plans. The proposed landscaping plans are generally
               acceptable and any non-compliant elements have been marked-up by Council to provide the
               required landscaping buffer to the Elm Street frontage.
               The revised landscape plans nominates a mix of ground cover (max height ~1m) within the
               landscape buffer between and including lots 142-146, 204, 205 and 212. Lots 17-139 propose tree
               removal, retention, and replacement plantings. It is considered the proposed vegetation will not
                                                                                                        Page 3 of 8
