            *  enables the establishment if appropriate plantings that are of a scale and character
               consistent with existing Hastings Street developments: and
            »  accommodates the outdoor needs of occupants.

            The Landscape Code requires for the Visitor Mixed Use Zone a minimum 10% of the site area to
            be landscape: but specifies for Visitor Accommodation Type 4 Conventional a minimum
            landscape area of proposed population in persons x 30m2, providing that 60% of this
            requirement is soft landscaping.  In this regard based on the zoning provision a minimum
            67,5m? is required and based in use provision 297m2 (44%) is required, which is to comprise
            178.2m2 (26.3%) of soft landscaping.
            The proposal achieves a total of 322.8m? (47.8%) of landscaping, which includes 109.3m?
            (16.2%) of soft landscaping.

            Both the Landscape Code and the Driveways & Carparking Code discourage a basement
    @       extending beyond the above ground building footprint.      One of the reasons for this is to
            enable soft landscaping to be provided in natural ground in and around the development.
            While this may be achievable for some sites, it is not practical or even achievable for the
            subject site. One of the major development constraints of the site is the narrow width of 13.4m.
            In order for the basement to be capable of accommodating vehicle parking and
            manoeuvring it must extended across the majority of the site width.       This development
            outcome is evident with practically all sites on the northern side of Hastings Street and most
            recently with the redevelopment of adjoining 31 Hastings Street.     The ability to provide
            significant areas of soft landscaping is therefore limited.

            The proposed landscaping is consistent with adjoining developments and the existing
            landscape character along Hastings Street and Main beach.        Particular attention to the
            interface with Main beach frontage has been considered to provide a well landscaped
            natural transition. The proposal achieves a landscape component exceeding that required
     ;      under the superseded planning scheme and considered acceptabie having regard to the
    @       overall outcome of the Code and existing landscape character of Hastings Street.

            Landscape plans will be will be submitted in order to co-ordinate works with the proposed
            Hastings street upgrade program.
