5. The timber trellis is currently proposed to stop short of the corner of the site – NR would recommend that the
   trellis continue to the corner of the site, so as to tidy up this corner and improve the aesthetics of the building
   façade at this location.

Image 5 below indicates the proposed landscape trellis screen extending for the full length of the wall to the north
east corner. A portion of the trellis screen incorporates a horizontal aluminum batten screen in front of the existing
gas bottle enclosure; the remainder of the trellis screen fixed to the existing rendered blockwork boundary wall. The
Landscape Architect has suggested a combination of native creepers; Cissus Antarctica, Fraser Island or
Pandroea ‘Southern Belle’ with native ground cover or grass such as Dianella Caerulea and vertical plants such as
Cordyline Glauca. The existing pockets of landscape adjacent to the property boundary and within the council
pathway have been maintained in area.

6. NR would recommend making the two middle pergolas different so as to break up the run of pergolas.

Images 6 & 7 below indicate the preferred rooftop pergola detail; several options had been considered including
changing the middle roof top pergolas to an angled profile replicating the poolside entry structure. Our client raised
several concerns with the angled design, including unit owner acceptance and the visual effect on the overall
character of the building. The horizontal arrangement of the aluminum pergola frame was ultimately adopted for
simplicity in detail and to compliment the linear length of the northern elevation.

The decision was taken to punctuate the expansive pergola structure with a distinct change of frame colour on the
central pergola and the western pergolas. All other beachside frontage pergola frames have been changed to a
lighter colour to appear to blend in with the background sky. Horizontal sunscreen battens extend over the pergola
frames; open portions of the frame visually punctuate its linear length and delineate between the individual roof top
terraces. The pergola frames adjoin the rooftop mechanical exhaust risers and are integral with the concealment of
the existing roof top fan units.

The pergola frames have been lowered in height by 300mm to reduce the overall scale and visual appearance. A
clearance height of 2.4metres measured to the underside of the pergola frame will be adopted.
