Western neighbour (Bali Hai Units – Short Term Accommodation):
Privacy is achieved via dense planting – in fact, the unit block is completely obscured from view (image below).
To ‘future-proof ’privacy between both properties, we propose a landscape design package which will
nominate appropriate screening trees for the width and height of the subject area.

Additional Note: The private open space for the units is located at the front (west side) of the units (refer
image (a) above).

Image: existing view (west) from clients home to unit block – approximately ground level of the proposed
design.




Southern Neighbour (15-17 Attunga Heights – Pine View – x 6 Units):
The ‘six-pack ’of units to the south is setback approximately 10m from the proposed design and provides a
driveway and heavily planted garden buffer between the clients proposed design and the unit block (refer
image (a) above). Additionally, the proposed design nominates a raised planter along the southern side of the
design where the intention is to specify ‘hanging ’style plants to further address visual amenity, potential
privacy and overlooking. Window treatments (blockout blinds) to bedrooms 2 and 3 will complete the
‘privacy ’package.

To further justify the proposed rear setback and to demonstrate the proposed setback is consistent with the
area, the following list illustrates precedents. As shown, even with a 3m setback, the proposed design
maintains a greater rear setback than any of the examples listed below.
