    of the area;                                       lower than the adjacent Sports Hall. The proposed
                                                       visual bulk and architectural scale is consistent with
                                                       the existing character of the school and surrounding
                                                       area which includes industrial development on the
                                                       opposite sides of Walter Hay Drive and Eumundi-

(b) do not visually dominate the street and            The building is setback about 38m from the Walter
    surrounding spaces;                                Hay Drive frontage and well screened by existing
                                                       frontage vegetation. The building is adjacent to the
                                                       existing sport hall and which has an overall height of
                                                       1.45m more than the proposed new building. The
                                                       building will not dominate the street or surrounding
                                                       spaces.

(c) preserve    the     amenity     of   surrounding   The proposed building is located well away from
    development including privacy, views and           nearby residential dwellings. The building will not
    access to sunlight to residential dwellings;       impact    existing   amenity    of     surrounding
                                                       development.

(d) respect the scale of the surrounding vegetation,   The building respects the scale of surrounding
    maintaining a vegetated skyline; and               vegetation, which includes street frontage
                                                       vegetation, vegetation throughout the site and on
                                                       nearby lands, much of which is considerably higher
                                                       than the proposed building.          All frontage
                                                       vegetation and vegetation throughout the site will
                                                       be maintained and continue to contribute to a
                                                       vegetated skyline.

(e) have a maximum building height of two storeys.     The building has a maximum building height of two
                                                       storeys

AO18.1 Individual buildings do not exceed a gross floor area of 1,000m².
AO18.2 The maximum length of wall in one plane is 30 metres.

The proposed building has a gross floor area of 1579m2 and a maximum wall length of about
40m. The additional gross floor area and wall length is necessary due to the function of the
building as a performing arts learning centre. The proposed gross floor area and wall length will
comply with the performance outcome as follows:

Buildings and other structures:
(a) are fit for purpose and respect the scale of       The building has been specifically designed as fit for
    surrounding development;                           purpose as a school performing arts learning centre.
                                                       The building is consistent with the existing character
                                                       and scale of the school and the scale of the
                                                       surrounding industrial development.

(b) do not present an appearance of bulk to            The building is well away from adjacent properties
    adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the   and road frontages and screened by existing
    vicinity of the site;                              frontage vegetation.     It will not present an
                                                       appearance of bulk.

(c) maintains natural site characteristics where       The building integrates with the site characteristics
    possible, including native vegetation and          and requires minimal earthworks and vegetation
    natural landforms;                                 removal.
