19.   Provide a detailed work method for demolition of historic fabric generally consistent with
      the sample method detailed above.


Issue – Landscaping
The architectural plans provided with the application material indicate a 2 metre landscape
setback, however the submitted concept landscape plans have not provided details of the
landscape associated with the Poinciana, Diyan and Blakesley Street frontages.
Information Required
20.   Provide revised concept landscape plans that deliver further details including
      dimensions a concept landscape layout that includes tall trees shrubs and
      groundcovers. Incorporation of tall single stemmed trees such as Corymbia tessellaris
      that allow for views to the river, provide scale to the built form, and replaces the loss of
      significant trees within the site is encouraged. (Undergrounding power along Diyan
      Street would be beneficial in achieving landscape with tall trees that allow for
      unobstructed views to the river)


Issue – Existing Landscaping
The submitted concept landscape plans has identified areas of existing landscape to be
retained.
Information Required
21.   Provided revised concept landscape plans that identifies areas of existing landscape to
      be refurbished and incorporate concept landscape plans for these areas that includes
      the establishment of trees shrubs and groundcovers to assist in the scaling and buffering
      of the built form.
22.   Provide an overall concept landscape plan that calculates the total percentage of the
      site proposed to be landscaped
