have not strictly met the codes requirements to limit the paving to 25%, the design of the proposal
is such that the landscape area between the proposed building and the revetment wall is far
greater than required and extends to 5.4m and 6.1m and up to 7.7m at the curved walls setback,
providing for an additional soft landscaping area of |9.3m2. On this basis, the percentage of
pavement area versus the soft landscaping is 22.2% well within the codes requirement. Therefore
achieving the intent of clause $32.2

$32.3

No tree species with a mature height of over 3m are planted within 4.5m of the revetment
wall

Refer to the attached landscape plan. The only two large trees are the miniature Plumeria
Obtusa which has a maximum height of 2.5m, therefore meeting the intent of clause $32.3.

$32.4

No shrubs are planted within Im of the revetment wall

In this instance the landscape architects have recommended the planting of dwarf
Bouganvillea Bambino Purple. This plant is a miniature prostrate type, similar to a ground cover,
therefore meeting the intent of clause $32.4

$32.5
The ground surface within the first metre from the revetment wall is turf, groundcover or
hard pavement.

The first m contains both pavement and ground cover planting therefore meeting the
intent of clause $32.5.

Should you feel that we have not achieved the intent of $32.4 and 5 with the plant selection, we
are prepared to request the landscape architect to recommend an alternative.
