 4 & 5 Retaining Wall / Landscaping

           The civil plans indicate a retaining wall along sections of the proposed road elevation. Based on the
           location shown in the screenshot below, it may be more appropriate for the wall to adjoin the building,
           allowing for increased landscaping width in this area.




           Noting the limited area for inground landscaping along the western and southern boundaries (as
           mentioned in the above item) consequence of the ramps, stairs, drainage infrastructure and retaining
           structures, a detailed landscaping plan is requested to be provided. This will better inform the extent
           of landscaping along this elevation.
           Confirm the proposed retaining wall height and advise whether it can be relocated closer to the
           building to improve landscaping opportunities.
           Provide detailed landscaping plans of suitable species within the above-mentioned
           constrained areas.
