Shotcrete Walls

It is proposed to establish a trellis across the face of expansive shotcrete walls.
Woven through this trellis will be Cissus antarctica - Kangaroo Vine. The
establishment of this species along the base of all shotcrete walls is detailed in the
submitted proposed planting plans. Another species commonly proposed to be
established in front shotcrete and retaining walls is Dianella caerulea - Flax Lilly.

 

The colour of the shotcrete walls is detailed in the eke
adjoining photograph. In areas of high visibility
where vine growth is restricted, it is proposed to
‘yoghurt spray’ the walls to encourage the growth of
mould & lichen. This technique improves the visual
integration of the walls with the natural landscape.

  

Undercroft Areas

Undercroft areas will be treated in varying manners appropriate for their specific
location characteristics. {t is noted that this issue was identified in Council’s Request
for Further Information (2006/0823) as follows:

RFI Item:

7. Please provide details of the proposed planting and/or screening for all exposed building
under-croft areas.

Response:

The exposed building undercroft areas will be finished with select gravel and as such no
planting will be provided in these covered areas. However it is noted that soft landscaping
will be established directly adjacent to all undercroft areas. This landscaping technique
has been successfully incorporated into the Morwong Villas development, and is illustrated
in the Landscape Masterplan and Detail Areas submitted as part of EDAW AECOM —
Landscape Development Report (page 8 & 9). Photographs of example planting are
included as Attachment 6.

The project architect has submitted that the end walls of the Villa's accommodation units
will be finished with a combination of aluminium and timber screens and rainwater tanks.

Drainage - Large Stock Trees

Given the slope of the subject site and the drainage qualities of the soil it is not
considered necessary to established dedicated drainage treatments for the large
stock trees. The proposal plan numbered L-DT-901 details the typical planting profile
for larger stock sizes, and Sections

Please provide a signed statement from the project engineer that:

3.1 the design and landscape treatment of the swale drains is consistent with the
required / approved stormwater management plans and treatment systems
re. hydraulic and stablisation requirements,

32 the design of any raised boardwalks (over 1m in height) included in the plans
is structurally sound.

Certification from Opus QANTEC McWilliam is attached.

Please have the landscape architect (EDAW) endorse that all species included in the
plant schedule comply with Condition 135 of 2006/0823 and are consistent with the
Landscape Management Report.

Certification from EDAW is attached.
