4.2 Building Design
The building design on the corner site addresses both street frontages by maintaining a large
landscaped setback and separate vehicle access points along Park Cres, with concealed parking.
The architecturally designed building provides visual interest to the street and surrounding area using
a mix of lightweight and textured external finishes, with transparent balustrades.

The form and scale does not dominate the streetscape or the surrounding properties, and does not
detract from the visual amenity of adjoining properties through the impact on views, access to
sunlight or overlooking. The proposed design contributes positively to the surrounding area which
addresses and enhances the streetscape, consistent with the relevant Acceptable and Performance
Outcomes of the Coastal Communities Locality Plan.
