community        benefit    or  being for general public use. The use of some of the land
assessable       by     the    general included within the ROSZ for the proposed integrated
community.                             hotel development is logical in the circumstances,
                                       given the location of the TAZ. This is because of the
                                       location of the existing facilities onsite, the existing
                                       site constraints, and the identified significant need
                                       and community benefit.

Building height in terms of meters The proposed building height of the development
and storeys being excessive for the has been lowered for Buildings 1, 2, 4 and 5 in
land.                               response to the submissions already explained above.
                                    As shown on the plan provided (Extrapolated 8m &
                                    12m Above NGL Plane – Dwg No. DA4.01, Rev 10 –
                                    Figure 1), small portions of Building 2 exceed 12m in
                                    height with generally small portions of Buildings 3 &
                                    4 exceeding 8m in height.

                                         The development remains predominantly three (3)
                                         storeys in height but is integrated into the slope to
                                         present as two (2) storeys to Resort Drive and when
                                         viewed off the site (refer Dwg No. DA4.08, Rev 8).

Vegetation removal, in particular the    This issue has been discussed above, with additional
removal of koala habitat trees.          offset planting for 60 habitat trees to be provided
                                         within the golf course as shown in the attached plan
                                         (refer Attachment 2). Further, SARA has conditioned
                                         the payment of an environmental offset for the
                                         removal of the 19 NJKHTs, this being the requirement
                                         to meet the relevant State assessment benchmarks.
                                         Further, a condition has been imposed by SARA for
                                         the existing fencing to be retained to discourage
                                         koala from entering the site, which is appropriate in
                                         the circumstances.

Traffic and carparking impacts           The matter of traffic impacts and the provision of
                                         parking for the development has been addressed by
                                         TTP. The proposed development will not cause
                                         adverse traffic impacts upon the existing road
                                         network in the locality. Further, as discussed above,
                                         the parking is more than adequate for the proposed
                                         development, essentially equating to 1 carparking
                                         space per room, when having regard to the parking
                                         surveys that have been undertaken.
