    1.     Plan Detail

           To assist with calculations, please ensure all plans include a scale bar and clear measurements.
           Reduced Levels (RLs) must be shown for ground, floor and roof levels on elevation and section
           drawings.
           Provide revised plans incorporating a scale bar and measurements to support accurate
           calculations.

Applicant Response
Reference is made to the amended Architectural Plans prepared by HMA provided at Appendix A of this
response, which now include scale bars and reduced levels to assist with Council’s calculations.


    2.     Building Presentation to Lake Macdonald Drive

           Acceptable Outcome AO24.3 of the Community Facilities Zone Code seeks building design to avoid
           uniform facades by incorporation variation in form and detail.
           To improve the development’s presentation to Lake Macdonald Drive, revised elevations should
           include a greater variety of materials, colours and finishes.
           AO24.3 Buildings incorporate:
                a. variations in plan shape, such as steps, recesses, projections or splays;
                b. variations in the vertical profile, with steps or slopes at different levels;
                c. variations in the treatment and patterning of windows, sun protection and shading devices, or
                   other elements of façade treatment at a finer scale than the overall building structure;
                d. balconies, verandas or terraces; and
                e. planting, particularly on podiums, terraces, and low level roof decks or incorporate other
                   landscape elements such as green walls.
           Revise the Lake Macdonald Drive elevation to include additional materials, finishes and/or
           colours to the elevation and better align with AO24.

Applicant Response
Reference is made to the amended Architectural Plans prepared by HMA provided at Appendix A of this
response, which comprise amended elevations depicting additional variation in colours and materiality for
those units fronting Lake Macdonald Drive.

Specific reference is made to Drawing Ref. 1293:SK-8-3 (F) – North Elevation Colour which provides a more
legible illustration of the variation in colours and materiality, as reproduced at Figure 1 below.
