Attachment 2- Architectural Statement of Intent

The Village Green plays a significant role in creating an engaging environment that embraces the
natural beauty of the Open Space Area (Covenant J). This integration with the Village Green
enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the development and allows users to immerse themselves
in the natural surroundings.

The Village Green incorporates features such as substantial shade tree zones, gardens, lawns,
seating areas, elevated areas that offer views of the natural landscape of the retained Open Space
Area (Covenant J), covered connections and a children’s play area.

At its western end the Village Green has an appropriate zone of hard landscaping to provide a space
for substantial community events and incorporates a children’s pop jet fountain. By creating this
expansive open event space, visitors are provided with a connection to the open space area,
fostering a sense of appreciation for the surrounding open space landscape while providing a public
space for events and entertainment.

Village Mixed Use /Bar and Dining Precinct

Uses including shops, bars, food and drink outlets are generally located at ground level primarily
facing the Village Green, Main St and the at-grade northern carpark. Convenience retail shops are
typically located in the Village Green spine around between the travellator/lift access location out
of the basement towards the western end of the Village Green and Main St at the eastern end. This
relationship provides the appropriate sleeving of the supermarket and loading dock on the southern
side of the development.

Other non-convenience type shops are located in the other areas of the Village Green and Main St
and also utilize the laneways between the three central mixed-use pavilion buildings connecting the
Village Green and the northern carpark.

A Bar and Dining precinct has been located at the western end of the Village Green where it makes
best use of its ambiance provided by its adjacency with the Covenant J open space zone both day
and night. This location provides immediate connectivity with the heavily vegetated open space
zone, which in turn provides great protection from the western summer sun as well the benefit of
the immediate overview of the western end of the Village Green especially when in an event mode.


Cinema and Recreation Precinct

The larger building footprints for the cinema and indoor recreation uses have been positioned in the
most appropriate part of the development site being the south-west corner. These uses occupy
both ground and Level 1 space and all are provided with immediate access to vertical transportation
via travellators and lifts to the basement below.

The cinema complex on Level 1 has been purposely located away from the Village Green in a
location that best utilizes the visual benefits created by the sleeving of the balcony accessed
office, indoor sport and recreation tenants.

This horizontal separation in addition to the interplay of various roof heights along the two-level
section of the Village Green substantially reduces the visibility of larger cinema auditoriums. In
addition, the purposeful arrangement of the individual cinemas has been carefully considered to
reduce as much as possible, their appearance above the eaves lines of sleeved building forms
adjacent or below.
