safety and fire exits ; and is inconsistent with the Hastings street streetscape upgrade works. Given
that existing trees in front of nearby shops have been removed with the Hastings street
streetscape works (eg in front of ‘Breakers') we do not believe any additional frontage
landscaping is necessary. In the event that some soft landscaping is necessary and deemed
consistent with the streetscape works, the amended landscape plan provides for 2 street trees.

Deletion of condition 4.1 is requested or alternatively if this is not supported then amendment to
reference provision of 2 street trees as detailed on the landscape plan prepared by
Landgraphics.

Conditions 4.2 & 4.3

Conditions 4.2 & 4.3 require 1.5m wide planters along the full length of the side boundaries and
additional soft landscaping at the rear of the site near the beach frontage, which is to be
integrated within the planters along the site boundaries. As discussed at our meeting due to
access and operational design (eg basement ventilation voids and harvestings tanks)
requirements, it is not possible to provide 1.5m planters along the full length of the side
boundaries. Additional planters, which have been integrated with the soft landscaping at the
rear of the site, have been provided and are detailed on the operational works landscape plan
prepared by Landgraphics. It is considered that this amended landscape design provides an
improvement to the previous concept and represents a suitable outcome.

Amendment of condition 4.2 & 4.3 is requested to reference landscaping in accordance with
the operational works landscape plan prepared by Landgraphics.

Condition 7

Condition 7 requires the fencing between the building and the beach is to be no more than
1.2m in height. Having regard to the existing fencing along the beach front, the majority of
fencing is more than 1.2m in height, with several of the fences at 1.2m in height compromised for
pool safety due to mounding and planting that has occurred. As shown in the attached beach
front elevation plan, the adjoining fences are both greater than 1.2m in height. The 'Annabells”
fence is greater than 2m in height and the ‘Breakers’ fence is 2m in height. In order to integrate
with the adjoining fences and address security, privacy and pool safety requirements, it is
requested that a fence of up to 1.8m in height be allowed. This fence would be of similar detail
to that shown on the beach front elevation plan {ie rendered masonry fence with openings). This
elevation demonstrates that at 1.8m the fence will be lower than both adjoining fences. The
fence will also be heavily screened by the existing Pandanus along the beach frontage.

Amendment of condition 7 is requested to allow a fence of no more than 1.8m in height generally
in accordance with the fence detail shown on plan DA-06 issue A.

Condition 24

Condition 24 requires the preparation of an Acid Sulfate Soils Report to be submitted for approval
prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. While no objection is raised to
the preparation of an Acid Sulfate Soils Report, the timing stipulated in the condition presents
practical difficulties. The existing building form and narrow access driveway prohibits access for
carrying out a compliant acid sulfate soils test. This cannot be completed until such time as the
existing building is demolished. Steve Gamble from Soils Survey has been commissioned to
undertake this work and is very familiar with the beach side of Hastings Street having worked on
Tingirana, Breakers and 23, and does not believe acid sulfate soils will be encountered. We
request that the condition be amended to require submission of the Acid Sulfate Soils Report
after building demolition but prior to commencement of new building works. While the
