LANDSCAPING CODE
A summary of the proposed development‘s compliance with the purpose of the Landscaping Code,
Traffic and Parking is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) retains, reinforces and enhances the natural landscape character of the site, streetscape and
       locality;
   b) retains existing vegetation and other natural features for their ecological, aesthetic and
       cultural values;
   c) ensures the revegetation and rehabilitation of native wildlife habitat and riparian zones to
       protect and enhance ecological and biodiversity values;
   d) facilitates water management including on-site detention and the efficient infiltration of
       stormwater;
   e) enables the establishment of appropriate plantings that are of a scale and density
       commensurate with building height, bulk and scale to buffer development and conflicting land
       uses;
   f) enhances privacy between dwelling units and accommodation units;
   g) accommodates the outdoor recreation needs of dwelling occupants; and
   h) provides adequate vegetation treatment to steep slopes and unstable landforms.

Comment: The proposal achieves compliance with the Specific Outcomes/Probable Solutions of the
Landscaping Code as follows:-

   The Landscaping Code requires that each dwelling unit provides for landscaped private open
    space comprising, for units at ground level, a minimum area of 25m 2 exclusive of the clothes
    drying area, with minimum dimensions of 4m and maximum gradient of 1 in 10 (10%). A
    minimum private open space area of 25.20m 2 (Unit 22) and maximum private open space of
    60.30m2 (Unit 26), with an average private open space area of 30.96m 2 is achieved. All private
    open space areas achieve a minimum dimension of 4m.
   In accordance with Table 14-56—Standard minimum landscaped areas, dimensions and works for
    zones in the Landscaping Code, development in the Shire Business Centre Zone requires a
    minimum landscaped area of 15%. The proposed development includes a total landscaped area of
    2,502.47m2 (comprising of 193.75m2 Environmental Covenantal Area, 1,781.4m2 Soft Landscaping
    and 528.32m2 Hard Landscaping) which is 40.43% of the subject site.
   A high quality landscape outcome is proposed that includes feature planting to compliment
    building form and provide appropriate streetscape buffering.

Please refer to the Landscape Concept Plan prepared by Anembo Consultants included in Attachment
E. A detailed Landscaping Plan including plant schedule will be provided as part of a subsequent
Operational Works application.
