The curved design of the front boundary fence adds a unique architectural element, while softening the visual
impact and creating space for additional landscaping along the streetscape. The materials and finishes
chosen for the gates and walls are consistent with those found in the surrounding area, further ensuring
compatibility with the streetscape character. This not only improves the aesthetic quality but also promotes a
sense of continuity and integration with the parkland immediately east of the site.

It is noted that AO17.3 of the Medium Density Residential Zone code, as outlined below, is achieved as the
proposed wall is no greater than 1.8m in height. AO17.2 is not applicable as the site benefits from a frontage to
Noosa Parade, which is a Distributor Road. The proposed walls and gates are set back an average of 1m and
create visual interest through the use of range of materials that vary in shape and texture.

       AO17.1

       “Front fences or walls are set back an average of 1 metre and articulated to provide interest by
       shaping the design at a maximum of 5 metre intervals.

       AO17.2

       Where located on the boundary:

       a) The solid portion of front fences and walls is no more than 1.2 metres high; or

       b) The walls contain openings or materials that ensure it is 50% transparent and has a height
           no exceeding 1.8 metres.

       AO17.3

       Solid front fences and walls may be 1.8 metres in height if the property has frontage to an
       arterial road or a distributor road”.

Table 1 below provides an assessment against PO12 and PO17 in direct response to Item 5. The assessment
confirms that the proposal achieves compliance with PO12 and PO17.
