Eave
The small encroachment does not unreasonably obstruct views from adjoining or nearby properties,
while the eave is designed to provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site. The building
steps up the slope and does not create shading or overlooking of the neighbouring properties. It
adds to the architectural feature of the front façade and a high-quality built design, consistent with
the Performance Outcomes of the High-Density Residential Zone code.

Basement
The basement encroaches into the side setbacks and slightly into the rear setback. The basement
does not add to building bulk and is mostly sub surface and while it encroaches into the setbacks,
the development provides more than the Landscaping code requires for soft landscaping. The design
demonstrates the building can still provide meaningful landscaping and greenery to soften the
building. The Figure below demonstrates landscaping between buildings and will sit within a
landscaped setting consistent with the intent of the PO.

4.5 Roof terrace
The development proposes a roof terrace consisting of a swimming pool, BBQ area and significant
raised gardens. It is imperative for development to use roof space to offset the urban heat sink that
roofs create. As demonstrated in the image below, the terrace incorporates significant roof top
landscaping and a pool to provide for a visual softening and sustainable aspects to the roof, rather
than a colorbond or zincalume tin roof.

The terrace is orientated to the west to take advantage of the significant views, rather than to the
neighbouring properties. Roof top raised gardens and the setback from the edge of the building
inhibit overlooking of the neighbouring properties.
