Information Request Item No.   Response
                                                development is of a smaller scale and bulk than the Multiple
                                                Dwelling units on the adjoining site to the north;
                                            o   The development will not have a presence of bulk when viewing
                                                the site from the street or adjoining premises; and,
                                            o   The proposed development does not impact upon any
                                                ecologically important areas.
                                   •   AO10.1 of the Use Code – the proposed development provides 176.9m2 of
                                       soft landscaping onsite, in lieu of the minimum 145.4m2 required (31.5m2
                                       excess). As such, the subject site is provided with a greater extent of
                                       landscape buffering, including shrubs and trees, to adjoining premises and
                                       the street frontage; and,
                                   •   AO21.3 of the Zone Code: the final location for pool pump equipment has
                                       not yet been decided. As such, the development approval can be
                                       conditioned to require pool pump equipment to be visually and acoustically
                                       screened by 1.8 metre high solid boundary fencing, a purpose built
                                       enclosure and landscape buffers. It is noted that the likely location for pool
                                       pumps will be within the clothes drying areas adjoining the living rooms to
                                       the south, which comprises a deep planted landscape buffer along the fence
                                       line. The Council’s suggestion to provide a setback to the pools from the
                                       southern side boundary will not impact this outcome, as there is no other
                                       appropriate location for the equipment. With suitable screening/acoustic
                                       buffering provided, the pool equipment will comply with PO21 on the basis
                                       that it will not have an adverse effect on the amenity of nearby residents.

                               Item 5 - Please refer to the revised Building Design Plans in Attachment 1. Sections
                               have been provided on Sheet 07 to confirm that the pools are below 1 metre in
                               height from natural and finished ground levels. As such, they are not considered with
                               regard to setbacks or included in the site cover calculations.
