 •   although technically 3 storeys, 98% of the development is less than 8m above the NGL
     consistent with the building height of surrounding properties;

 •   there is no external visual impact of the protrusion;

 •   the portion of roof exceeding 8m are small areas of the over roof, not any of the main building;

 •   directly opposite the site at 115 Gympie Terrace, the multiple dwellings exceed 9m in building
     height resulting in the subject development consistent with structures on nearby land;

 •   the proposal is low rise and consistent in building height with structures on nearby land as 98%
     of the building is 8m or less in height similar to surrounding development;

 •   the development is articulated, has an unique roof form and the garages use vertical and
     horizontal battening creating a façade that presents an interesting development to the street;

 •   does not dominate the street as the areas of roof and ‘technical’ storey are minor in nature and
     are not discernible external of the site. Noting the building has a generous setback of 8m from
     the front boundary;

 •   significant high quality landscaping is provided to the frontage to provide a green presentation
     to and enhance the streetscape. Noting that only one crossover is proposed allowing for
     extensive dense landscaping within the frontage;

 •   the site is subject to a minimum floor level and Council has historically approved development
     of greater than 8m above NGL;

 •   no overshadowing or impeded views will occur as the minor areas that exceed 8m are centrally
     located and to the front of the development;

 •   the development meets all key development parameters such as setbacks, site cover, GFA,
     LOS and POS demonstrating a well designed building within the Planning Scheme provisions.
