           road reserve to provide a landscaped verge between the development
           boundary and the footpath, utilising a mix of native trees, shrubs, ground
           covers and grasses to assist in softening the built form of the
           development when viewed from Eumundi Noosa Road.
       16. Provide further details regarding how the proposed development

              Residential Zone Code by setting back boundary fencing and
              providing meaningful landscape space with a width capable of
              screening and softening the development. Ensure planting includes
              appropriate height screening plants (minimum 3-4 metres in height at
              maturity); and
           b. Screening vegetation with vertical scale to be provide along the
              eastern boundary to buffer the built form when viewed from
              neighbouring properties. Ensure planting includes appropriate height
              screening plants (minimum 3-4 metres in height at maturity).

Detailed landscaping plans are provided by Element Design, which have been coordinated
with the civil and architectural drawings to provide for a coherent landscaping and built
form outcome, as shown in the renders below.

The landscaping has been widened along the Eumundi Noosa Rd frontage with large
street plantings and a mix of heights and forms to screen the fencing. The eastern
boundary between the driveway and fencing has also been appropriately chosen with a
mix of mid storey trees and smaller plantings, while the podium plantings in front of the
dwellings provide for screening to neighbours.




       17. Confirm that the development meets AO9 of the Dual Occupancy and
           Multiple Dwelling Code. Alternatively demonstrate how multiple
           dwellings can be accommodated and visited by a wide cross section of
           the community including people with limited mobility in accordance with
           PO9 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code.

All units include accessible step free access and lift access to all levels. This is compliant
with the mobility requirements of the Multiple Dwelling code.




                                                                                 Page 3 of 4

         19. Confirm how the development manages light spillage from vehicles,
             which may negatively impact units or adjoining dwelling that interface
             with the existing access handle and the internal access driveway.

The design of the internal roads and fencing have been designed so that the headlights of
cars do not impact the adjoining neighbours. Section E, G and H demonstrate the detailed
consideration of pad levels, landscaping and fencing to ensure there is no nuisance to
neighbours.




A detailed lighting assessment will be provided with the electrical design as part of the
Building Approval. A condition can be imposed for all outdoor lighting to comply
with Australian Standard AS4282. This standard sets the guideline for mitigating the
obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting and provides recommended limits for relevant lighting
levels to contain these effects within tolerable levels.
