                                 Figure 1: Location of Subject Site (Nearmap, accessed May 2018)

As Figure 1 above illustrates, the southern and eastern boundaries of the lot are defined by
Garnet and Wattle Streets respectively. To the west of the site is a recently completed multiple
dwelling development. The lot to the north, which also forms part of the Attached Housing Zone,
is currently occupied by a single dwelling.

Figure 2 overleaf shows that directly in front of the site, there is significant road verge on either
side of Wattle Street. As a result, there is a 10m wide landscape strip between the site boundary
and the kerb of the road. On the opposite of Wattle Street, this verge has been utilised to provide
on street parking to serve the Business Centre.
