Condition 22
22. All landscape works must be maintained generally in accordance with the approved design for the life of the
development.

Comment
This condition includes the same wording and intent as Condition 21, as such, it is recommended that Condition 22 be
deleted, as outlined below:

          22. All landscape works must be maintained generally in accordance with the approved design for the life of the
          development. Deleted

Condition 23
23. All mature trees within the road reserve must be retained in accordance with the approved landscape plan unless prior
written authorisation from Council is gained for removal.

Comment
This condition appears to be a repetition of Condition 24. Accordingly, it is requested that Condition 23 be removed.

          All mature trees within the road reserve must be retained in accordance with the approved landscape plan unless
          prior written authorisation from Council is gained for removal. Deleted

Condition 24
24. The existing vegetation between the proposed fence along the road boundary of Lot 22 P9315 and the kerbside must
be assessed by a qualified person* and retained, and protected where possible.

Comment
The vegetation across the front of the site has been assessed by an Arborist. (refer to Appendix E). The Arborist report
recommends that all the mature trees in the front verge be retained where possible. In light of this, it is recommended
that Condition 24 be amended as follows:

          The existing vegetation in the road reserve between the proposed fence along the road boundary of Lot 22 P9315
          and the kerbside must be assessed by a qualified person* and retained in accordance with the approved landscape
          plans, and protected where possible.

Condition 26
26. A minimum of one (1) street tree with a minimum pot size of 100L is to be provided along the frontage of the lot,
setback at least 1 metre from the kerb in the road reserve verge, and are of a species that do not impact on services.

Comment
In accordance with the recently prepared Arborist report (Refer to Appendix E) for the site, all mature trees in the front
verge are considered to be in good health and recommended for retention. The retention of this vegetation is also
captured through Condition 25 (where possible) and therefore, Condition 26 is considered superfluous. The retention of
the existing vegetation is also considered an appropriate means of maintaining the current streetscape without the need
for an additional street trees, refer to Figure 2 below.

The widening of the footpath as required by Condition 33, together with the requirement to retain existing vegetation
(Condition 25), precludes the ability to provide an additional street tree. Accordingly, it is requested that this condition be
deleted.
