Performance outcomes                          Acceptable Outcomes

  1. reduce the visual impact of the          AO11.2
     development, softening the               A minimum area of 5m² around the base of
     appearance of hardstand areas;           each canopy tree, is treated with a porous
                                              surface such as mulch with groundcovers
  2. define parking areas;
                                              and protected from intrusion of vehicles.
  3. provide advanced canopy trees to
     shade vehicles and to reduce             AO11.3
     reflected radiation;                     Runoff from car parking areas is directed to
                                              landscaped areas to minimise
  4. maximise opportunities for
                                              contaminated runoff, including
     infiltration of rainwater on-site; and
                                              hydrocarbons, entering the stormwater
  5. minimise contaminated runoff             system and watercourses.
     entering the stormwater system and
     a watercourse.                     AO11.4
                                        Canopy trees are protected from vehicle
                                        damage by providing adequate sized garden
                                        beds.

                                              AO11.5
                                              Plants with thorns, fruit or berries are
                                              avoided in car parks.
