dwellings and roads, as well as the presence of existing vegetation in the area. nbn also highlights
that the proposed facility is located towards the rear of the community, and that both the
neighbouring residences and the community largely orient away from this location.

For these reasons, we believe the proposal has been thoughtfully and carefully made to minimise
impacts on amenity, as outlined below.

The proposed facility is setback more than 220 metres from the closest dwelling, and more than
360 metres from the Jirrima Crescent frontage of the subject site. As illustrated in Figure 1, while
we acknowledge that intermittent views of the facility may be visible from the road, the separation
distance of more than 360 metres will assist in reducing the visual impact of the facility.

In addition, the existing vegetation on the subject site, at adjoining properties and within road
corridors, provides additional screening benefits to the proposed facility. Scattered vegetation
within the immediate area is able to directly screen the facility, with dense vegetation in the
reserve directly to the west providing a back-drop to the facility. This is illustrated in Figures 2 to
5 below.
