Cover Letter_Precinct E2_CDA_FINAL

It is intended to develop Precinct E2 and F in an integrated matter to allow for internal road and pathway
connections between the two sites. We note that there has recently been a reconfiguration of a lot approval (to
facilitate the creation of up to 26 balance lots) issued by Council which further reinforces the staged and
integrated manner within which these development approvals will be delivered.

2.0       DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

The proposed changes to the existing development approval are described in detail in the sections below (refer
enclosed architectural drawings). Council will note that the changes predominantly relate to the landscaping and
fencing solution along the Resort Drive frontage of the site, and the equivalent representations to the Precinct F
approval (132004.1133.7) also refer.

In this regard, a 2 metre landscape strip has been introduced generally along the length of Resort Drive, wherein
this landscaping is set behind a semi-transparent fence located on the Resort Drive boundary. As a consequence
of the introduction of the landscape buffer strip, there have also been a number of amendments made to the
design of the adjacent courtyards for unit Blocks 10 – 12 by way of the removal of pools previously nominated on
approved plans, as well as the replacement of lower level terraces with turf. Informal pedestrian access
arrangements to Resort Drive, requested in previous Minor Change applications, are also no longer intended.
However, gates have been provided in the dividing fences between courtyards to allow access from the outer
units to the middle units for maintenance purposes.

Further amendments have also been made to the common fences between courtyards such that timber batten
fences are provided in the 2 metre landscape buffer strip, in lieu of previously intended rendered block fencing.
The design of the fencing is such that it comprises a light weight timber batten fence that is anticipated as sitting
lightly within the landscape, with final fence post locations intended to be determined by existing tree protection
zones and consultation with an arborist prior to construction. The intended fence design is reflected in Figure 1
below:-
