               consistent paving throughout. As currently designed, there is no available seating in this location
               for patrons attending the offices. Further, a smaller planter can be better designed to reduce water
               ingress in the long term.
               The planter at the southern ground floor area is being increased in size in association with the new
               stairs and additional timber seat and new paving is also proposed in this area. New paving is also
               proposed across the frontage of the building for consistency.
               While there has been some reduction in the amount of soft landscaping, these internal areas
               remain landscaped areas that have been improved by new garden beds and seating for patrons,
               which will improve the general amenity of these spaces. Further, the proposed new pergolas over
               these areas will also provide some weather protection, which is also desirable. Having regard to
               the Major Centre Zone Code, the proposed internal changes will suit the relative size and nature
               of the development when considering the entry locations that are mostly screened from the street
               and will not affect other existing landscaping around property boundaries. Further, will contribute
               positively to pedestrian wayfinding and comfort by providing additional seating and pergolas
               offering some cover (PO32).
               Assessment of Request
               The original development approval notice required landscaped courtyards at ground level. Since
               the commencement of the use, these areas have been reduced in size to achieve relevant
               accessibility requirements, refer to below figures.
