Applicant's Response to RFI - 2.12.19 · 51994.1435.01

                it must be noted that one of the plans Acceptable outcomes AO15.1 (d) provides for indoor /
                outdoor food and drink outlets being built to boundary and the active street frontage.

            o   The current approval has structures approved to boundary and it needs to be noted that the
                proposal provides for the structures built to boundary to be more aligned as an awning
                structure with seating similar to Figure 6.3.4.4 - Hastings Street Character outcome – Tourist
                Accommodation Zone Code. This is considered the preferred design and character outcome
                for Hastings St.

    •   Streetscape and Character

            o   The robust assessment undertaken against current and future scheme provisions, clearly
                demonstrates the architectural merit in adding to both the streetscape of Hastings St but
                ensuring the design meets all character provisions.

            o   The buildings present as smaller built form articulated to suggest a series of open and
                connecting alleyways. Entrance points are setback as far as 5.24m to entice the customer to
                walk in and explore what is sitting underneath the proposed translucent roof.

    •   Use area Carparking

            o   Use area has reduced with the inclusion of a new Bar Area, Servery, increased Landscaping
                and extended access paths into the building. Previous approval provided for most of these
                changed areas to form part of the total use area calculation.

We are of a genuine belief that this proposed design achieves planning compliance and will contribute
significantly and positively to the Hasting Street streetscape.

We ask that this material be considered and that Council assesses the application in a timely manner.
