The following additional considerations are noted:
1. No change is proposed to the positioning of the existing dwelling. The dwelling remains within the
Lot 2 area, with minor protrusions into the exclusive use area in common property (which has always

2. The existing bungalow style and aesthetic of the dwelling will be maintained and rejuvenated.
3. The proposed design comprises 3 levels plus a loft with an overall height of RL 13.325m.The
previously approved design comprised 4 levels plus a rooftop terrace with an overall height of RL
