Comment:
terms <strong>of</strong> lifestyles, affordability and access <strong>to</strong> social facilities. New developments should
optimise the provision <strong>of</strong> housing <strong>to</strong> suit the social mix and needs in the neighbourhood, or,
in the case <strong>of</strong> precincts undergoing transition, provide for the desired future community.
The proposed apartments are appropriate <strong>to</strong> the area.
Principle 10 - Aesthetics
SEPP 65 : Quality aesthetics require the appropriate composition <strong>of</strong> building elements,
textures, materials and colours and reflect the use, internal design and structure <strong>of</strong> the
development. Aesthetics should respond <strong>to</strong> the environment and context, particularly <strong>to</strong>
desirable elements <strong>of</strong> the existing streetscape or, in precincts undergoing transition,
contribute
<strong>to</strong> the desired future character <strong>of</strong> the area.
The aesthetics <strong>of</strong> this building are appropriate <strong>to</strong> its context due <strong>to</strong> its vertical facade
proportions and steps, which relate it <strong>to</strong> the surrounding trees and its palette <strong>of</strong> natural
materials and colours, including s<strong>to</strong>ne, tim<strong>be</strong>r and bronze coloured aluminium.
Recommendations
This is an exemplary design. The BCA compliance <strong>of</strong> the stairs around the lifts and the
adaption plan for disabled units should <strong>be</strong> confirmed <strong>be</strong>fore approval.
Conditions No. 13 and 68 address the only concerns raised by Council’s Urban Design Consultant
and ensure compliance with the BCA.
Landscaping
Council’s Landscape and Tree Assessment Officer, Robyn Askew, commented on the proposal as
follows:
The proposal
The proposed development involves the amalgamation <strong>of</strong> 3 lots and the construction <strong>of</strong> a 32
unit residential building. The site has a south westerly aspect with a slope <strong>of</strong> 22% falling from
the rear <strong>to</strong> the front boundary. The site is part <strong>of</strong> an area known as Nola Road Precinct,
Roseville in Council’s DCP 55 whereby the proposed development has <strong>to</strong> comply with
specific design objectives and controls.
The vegetation association for the site is Blue Gum High Forest however, the locally
occurring species on the site are not evident except for one Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney Blue
Gum) located on the front boundary.
