development meets the planned outcomes for the locality.

        b) COMMERCIAL & RETAIL USES
        xiii new development having a high level of streetscape character and building design that is at a
        human scale, integrated with the surrounding built form and landscape features, has visual
        relationships between indoor and outdoor spaces and contributes to an informal atmosphere and
        low speed traffic environment; and

The proposed development results in a high quality, functional and cohesive streetscape design which
maintains and enhances the look and feel of Hastings Street’s dining experience. The proposal retains the
unique character and experience of Hastings Street exemplified by existing cafes’/restaurants such as,
Aromas (32 Hastings Street), 10 Hastings (10 Hastings Street) and La Vida (11 Hastings Street) as illustrated in
the photographs following.

As illustrated in Photographs 7 -12, the design outcomes that have been achieved by Betty’s Burgers (directly
adjoining the site - 50 Hastings Street), Miss Moneypennys (6 Hastings Street) and Kaali (2 Hastings Street)
present as bulky and boxy barriers that separate diners from pedestrians. This design form creates a sense
of isolation.
