                 PO9 Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                      a. provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                         including provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
                      b. not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
                         habitable areas of adjoining premises;
                      c. provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                      d. preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                      e. allow for soft landscaping to be provided between buildings and the site boundaries to
                         provide for trees and shrubs;
                      f.    contribute to open streetscapes by avoiding buildings and structures within the front 6
                            metres of the property; and
                      g. protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                         areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands.
                 Advice Required
                 2.        Provide an increased setback and reduce the extent of infrastructure along the front
                           boundary.
                 3.        Explore opportunities to reduce the size of the crossover and extent of clearing which
                           will be required i.e., is there the opportunity to consolidate the extension closer to the
                           existing driveway and retaining significant vegetation.
                 4.        Provide a revised assessment against Performance outcome PO9 of the Low Density
                           Residential Zone Code.


                 Issue – Works in the Road Reserve
                 The proposal seeks to alter the existing driveway crossover to support vehicle access to the
                 proposed garage. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the
                 alterations to the driveway crossover compliance with AO8.1, AO9, AO21 and corresponding
                 Performance Outcomes of the Low-Density Housing Code
                 The submitted material does not document:
                 •         the extent of alterations to the existing levels of the crossover and adjoining areas of
                           verge; and
                 •         the extent of any earthworks in the road reserve (including batters and/or retaining
                           structures);
                 •         that the B85 vehicle is able to access the site without scraping or bottom out on
                           Bayview Road; and
                 •         how stormwater flows captured from the downslope of the driveway will be controlled,
                           collected, and discharged to a Lawful Point of Discharge.
                 Note – the construction methodology must be reflected in the recommendations of the future
                 Arborist Report (i.e., retaining walls, batters, etc.).
                 Information Required
                 5.        Provide additional detail demonstrating the extent of works to the existing driveway
                           crossover in the road reserve. The additional detail must be prepared by a suitably
                           qualified person and be preliminary in nature, but most be adequate to satisfy the
                           relevant assessable benchmarks.

                 Issue – Vegetation
                 The proposal identifies existing large trees within the road reserve for retention. However, the
                 proposed adjustment to the driveway crossover is in close proximity to these trees with
                 potential to result in a major encroachment into the Tree Protection Zone(s) (TPZ).
                 Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed works will avoid
                 adverse impacts on the structural or ecological integrity of these trees.
                 These trees contribute significantly to the established streetscape character and local amenity.
                 The proposal must clearly demonstrate how these trees will be protected and managed to
                 ensure their retention throughout all stages of development.
                 Information Required
                 6.     Provide an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) prepared by an AQF Level 5
                        qualified arborist in accordance with AS4970 Protection of trees on development sites,
                        including:
                        6.1. Identification of all trees within proximity to the development site, including
                             calculation and mapping of Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) and Structural Root
                             Zones (SRZ) for each tree, in relation to proposed works
                        6.2. Demonstrate the proposal will not encroach into the TPZ of any trees or
                             compromise their ecological or structural integrity.
                        6.3. If encroachment is unavoidable, provide details of the extent, justification, and
                             proposed mitigation measures.
                        6.4. A tree protection plan, including tree protection specifications and a tree protection
                             plan, outlining measures necessary to protect and manage the trees throughout
                             all stages of the development. Specifications should include fencing, signage, soil
                             protection, and any special construction techniques required.
