e The identified laundry areas are % enclosed with the presentation of an enclosed
outdoor room and function as such. This approach is consistent with recent Tribunal
findings which support Council’s interpretation. The spaces are to be included in the
developments gross floor area.

e The landing/steps contained on the lower and upper levels do not provide access
between levels and therefore are to be included in the developments total gross floor
area.

7. Provide revised gross floor area calculations in compliance with the Performance
outcome PO11 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code and administrative terms.

Issue - Site Cover

Plan DA.19 shows void areas as being excluded from the developments site cover. While the
final calculations do not appear to exclude these areas, please note the development’s
coverage is calculated from birdseye view.

Information Required

8. Provide revised plans showing the developments site coverage from a birdseye view
rather than per storey for clarity.

Issue — Landscaping

e Noting the extent of fill on the site, it is likely that the areas of landscaping along the
northern and eastern side boundary of Unit 1 will not be capable of supporting the
establishment of species.

e There are several areas identified on the site included in soft landscaping calculations
that is solely gravel i.e., outdoor seating area and area surrounding the swimming pool
of U2. These impervious areas do not contribute to soft landscaping.

 

 

soft landscaping means trees, shrubs, grass, garden beds and impervious surfaces that
occur naturally such as rock outcrops. Soft landscaping is not located on top of a constructed
slab or other structure and is capable of supporting the establishment and growth of canopy

trees as well as other species.

The term does not include swimming pools or impervious surfaces such as driveways,
vehicular access lanes, vehicle parking and manoeuvring areas, pathways, stormwater
structures, tennis courts, decks, balconies, roof terraces and the like. It also does not include
areas over which balconies cantilever unless there is a vertical height of 4 metres between
the ground and the balcony to allow for significant planting.
