2d) Development includes passive design elements to respond to the local        2d – Complies
climate.                                                                        The existing building has been designed and sited to take advantage of natural light

2e) Development minimises the reliance on non-renewable resources.              2e - Complies
                                                                                The development will utilise existing service connections, which do not include non-
                                                                                renewable resources such as gas.
2f) Buildings are designed and constructed to be energy and water efficient.    2f – Complies
                                                                                The development has been designed to benefit from natural light and ventilation, while
                                                                                reducing water demand through location and climate appropriate landscaping.
2g) Development includes operational initiatives for energy efficiency.         2e – Complies
                                                                                The development includes modern appliances and fixtures to enhance efficiencies.
2h) Existing vegetation is retained where possible and creates shade and        2h – Complies
cooling on site                                                                 The development retains all vegetation and does not involve any works.
2i) Stormwater is collected and used on site for non-potable purposes of        2i – Complies
gardening, toilet flushing, laundry and hot water supply uses.                  A large portion of the site is pervious landscaped area ensuring that stormwater reduces
                                                                                water demand for gardening.
2j) Healthy indoor environments are provided by incorporating the use of low
toxic materials, natural light and cross ventilation.
