                                   That is, by reducing the fill levels along   along the boundary where adjoining a
                                   the boundary, it is likely to result in a    residential use
                                   reduced fence height at the boundary,
                                   thus increasing the potential for
                                   overlooking from the ground floor
                                   terrace and private open space areas
                                   of Building 2.

                                   In contrast, allowing the proposed fill
                                   levels (involving a minor increase
                                   above 0.6m) will assist by providing a
                                   modest increase in the overall height
                                   of the combined retaining wall and
                                   screen fence, thereby protecting the
                                   privacy of the lower properties
                                   adjoining the eastern boundary.

                                   The improved privacy outcome will
                                   also be enhanced through the
                                   implementation of the required
                                   landscape buffer, which will further
                                   reduce any opportunities for
                                   overlooking between the two
                                   premises.

                                   Accordingly, it is requested that the
                                   conditions be amended as proposed so
                                   as to reflect the currently proposed fill
                                   levels.

                                   In the event that Council is unwilling to
                                   amend the condition, it is requested
