   7. Provide updated plans complying with the 10m setback requirements for the
      Second Floor; and
   8. Provide updated plans showing the proposed and required setbacks in
      accordance with the height of the western elevation at that point; and
   9. Provide details of the proposed height and setbacks of the Ground Floor
      swimming pools, complying with the 2m setback requirement.

The plans have been updated including the relocation of the pool to be setback more than
2m from the front boundary, with further detailed landscaping of this area to be provided
as part of the Operational Works applications. Updated plans are also provided showing
the western setback of 3m in accordance with the planning scheme requirements.

The 3rd floor decks are setback an average of more than 10m, however small setback
encroachments are present along the southern and northern deck areas to 9m.
Considering the large frontage of the site and the open deck areas that are encroaching
within the setback, the building is well designed to not look out of scale and is appropriately
setback so as not to obstruct neighbours views. The deck encroachments into the 10m
setback are consistent with the setback of other multiple dwelling units in the street and
also allow for landscaping to be provided on the edges of the balconies in accordance with
the corresponding Performance Outcomes PO10.

   10. Provide updated plans which demonstrate the varying colours and materials
       proposed to reduce the appearance of bulk associated with the western
       elevation. A render of this elevation would also be suitable.

A render of the western elevation is provided with the amended plans showing breaks in
the building, windows and awning treatments. This is to be complemented by the
landscaping along this boundary to provide for a buffer between the adjoining residential
units.

   11. Provide updated plans that soften the bulk and scale of the dividing wall and
       comply with setback requirements.

The ground floor dividing wall has been reduced in its height and extent. Further
landscaping is to be provided between the buildings to ensure privacy between
neighbours, while also complementing the built form.

   12. Provide a schedule of proposed building materials, finish, textures and
       colours for the entire development; and
   13. Provide Renders clearly showing the proposed building materials, finish,
       textures and colours.

A material palette is provided by the architect with lighter sandy coloured tones and glass
balustrading to complement the lightweight battens and sunshades along the balconies.

   14. Provide a Landscape Concept Plan (noting that an Operational Works for
       Landscaping will also be required).

A landscape concept plan is included, with 5 x feature pandanus plantings to be planted
along the frontage, screening vegetation along the boundaries with the adjoining buildings,
and large opportunities for deep landscaping to complement the built form. A detailed
landscaping plan will be provided as part of the subsequent Operational Works approvals.
