               Length of elevation
               Acceptable Outcome AO12.2 of the Innovation Zone Code states:
               AO12.2 Elevations are no longer than 15 metres without articulation of at least 0.75 metres and
               present changes in textures and materials to break up building facades.
               The applicant is proposing elevations and facades more than 15 metres length relevant to the
               eastern side boundary and as such does not comply with AO12 of the Innovation Zone Code. The
               proposal is therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO12 of the
               Innovation Zone Code, which states:

               PO12
               Buildings and other structures present a high quality design with building elements and forms
               that:

               (a)    are consistent with the bulk and scale of buildings on adjoining and nearby land;
               (b)    break down the facade into finer scaled components;
               (c)    provide strong visual relationships to public open space in the vicinity;
               (d)    create pedestrian scale and visual interest;
               (e)    present subtle changes in colours, textures and materials to break up the building facades;
               (f)    integrate signage with the building design; and
               (g)    integrate landscaping into the building design and car parking areas.


               Assessment
               The proposal is consistent with the height and scale of nearby buildings within the Innovation zone
               and incorporates variation to its façade to achieve some interest which complies with PO12.
               The eastern facade (upper level) is approximately 17 metres in length (Figure 5) however is not
               highly visible from roadways and includes a series of upper level fixed screens which visually
               connects to a curved screening element to assist with articulating the upper level façade line.
