        The reduced landscaped open space is considered to comply with the Specific Outcomes of the
        Landscaped Code as detailed below:

             Streetscape and amenity
             01 Sufficient landscaped areas are provided to-
             a) enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the area, streetscape and
             local area;


             As indicated by the photographs above, the existing and proposed green walls enhance the
             area and soften the  existing hardscape on site. These walls are proposed to be located in an
                                                               comprises expansive hard surfaces. The
             area that is off the street, is not well utilised and

             green walls effectively soften the visual amenity of this area.

             b) retain natural landscape features, such as rock outcrops and existing large trees;

             The areas of landscaped open space that are to be used for commercial purposes are hard
             paved areas and all existing vegetation on site is to be retained.

             c) retain existing native vegetation and enhance buffer areas around property boundaries;

             The proposed green walls will provides additional green space to the existing hardscape on
             site.


             d) suit the relative size and nature of the development and its setting;

             The proposed green walls have a total area of 111 m2 and effectively replace the area of
             hardscape reduced by the application. The green walls are an innovative and unique feature
             for the site.


             e) reduce the visual impact of large or bulky structures and fencing along watercourses; and

             Not applicable   -
                                  not along a watercourse.
