    2.        A plan (to scale) that clearly demonstrates natural and finished ground surface levels. Include
              details of proposed fill levels.

RESPONSE
Please refer to the Amended Operational Works Plans prepared by 360 Civil Consulting Pty Ltd (Attachment
2), specifically Sheets 04 and 05 of 12, which demonstrates the earthworks plan and sections and

does not include any outdoor functions between the built form and the boundary.

In consideration of the information provided above, the proposed development is compliant with Specific
Outcome O9, as:
