 Although some plans show NGL there is no finished ground level line on the elevation
 plans.

 Advice Required
    1. On all plans, indicate the NGL and FGL relative to the building and all structures
        on the top storey.


Response
In response to the above item, amended plans have been prepared to include notation of
NGL and FGL. Refer to the amended plans attached as part of this response.

 Issue – site cover and plot ratio
 Although the proposal has been amended to reduce the proposed site cover and plot
 ratio (as per Item 6 of the Information request), the proposed site cover and plot ratio
 is not supported. It is noted that surrounding buildings complied with the planning
 scheme at the time of their approval.

 Advice Required
    2. Provide amended plans that comply with a maximum plot ratio of 0.65:1 and
        40% site cover.

Response
In response to the above item, the accompanying amended plans are provided. The
proposal achieves a compliant site cover of 39.8% of the site area. The resulting changes
and alterations to the configuration of each unit has also reduced the plot ratio, such that
the plot ratio is reduced to 0.63.

 Issue – garaging
 As per Item 10 of the Information request, it is considered that the proposed four
 garages that face Elanda Street dominate the streetscape. They are all in the same
 plane, creating a 24 metre long (in total) wall of garages on a 31 metre frontage to
 Elanda St. There is no staggering of the garage doors. Further, they are not integrated
 into the building in any way. In this regard they do not comply with Acceptable
 outcomes AO11.1, AO11.2, AO11.3 and corresponding Performance outcome PO11 of
 the High Density Residential zone code.
