Wesuggest a maximum height nogreater than the parapet of the westwing of the east portalbuilding. This would ensure thatdifferences in ground levels do notresult in new development on Block5 being higher than the west wing(facing Anzac Parade) of the eastportal building.ActewAGL is advancingthe street lightingdesign.

Theonly area that is probably not mothhabitat is that area which is nowdeeply shaded by ornamental treeplantings. This means that there isabout 3 ha of golden sun mothhabitat over the development site.The proposal will require bothapproval under the EPBC Act andlicences under the NatureConservation Act 1980. Under theEPBC Act, a referral should seek tofirstly avoid and then mitigate anyimpacts on matters of nationalenvironmental significance.Similarly, the ACT Government hasagreed with the recommendationfrom the Commissioner forSustainability and Environment’sGrassland Inquiry report that theconservation values of Category 2grassland sites (which includes theNatural Temperate Grasslandwithin the proposal area) should beintegrated with developmentdecisions and in particular thatconnectivity should be retained orenhanced.The ecological assessment for thereferral is correct in stating that theNovember 2012 Cardno 89
