materials to reduce noise levels in building interiors, the use of landscape, and the siting and orientation of the residential components away from noise sources.

Landscape
Soft landscaping around buildings should incorporate a range of planting types of varying scales, including trees, shrubs and ground‑covers to create a rich, diverse garden setting.
Buildings and landscape design must reflect the original design intent of the arboretum masterplan. Tree plantings should act as an extension of the planted forests of the arboretum. Within Forest 69, tree plantings must predominantly be Chinese Golden Larch. New tree plantings within Forest 76 must predominantly be Radiata Pine.
As far as practicable, Radiata Pine plantings in Forest 76 should be retained to protect the site from southerly winds. New tree plantings and landscape design should afford protection from other predominant winds.
Landscape design should ensure that when trees are mature, development of the site does not significantly detract from the view from Dairy Farmer's Hill.
Planting on buildings and structures is encouraged as a way of enhancing the integration between built form and landscape, and to provide amenity, improve air quality and microclimate, and reduce direct energy use and stormwater runoff. Where planting on buildings and structures is proposed, landscape materials should respond to local context and complement arboretum species.

Access, parking, and movement
Primary vehicle access to the site is to be from Forest Drive. Secondary access, including for emergency vehicles, must be provided and agreed by the relevant authorities.
Car parking must be screened from view to the maximum extent possible from Forest Drive, Dairy Farmers Hill, and the Central National Area. Parking provision shall be in accordance with the following:
       * 1 space per guest room, plus
       * 10 spaces per 100m2 GFA of bars, restaurant, function rooms and supporting back of house facilities, plus
       * 3 spaces per 5 employees

Basement car parking is encouraged to increase the site area that can be landscaped, and to reduce light spill. Where surface car parking is proposed, parking must be incorporated into the landscape design of the site, by extending planting and materials into car parking spaces. Parking must be located on the western side of the ridge. Shade trees should be planted between every 4 car parking spaces to reduce increased surface temperatures from large areas of paving.
Access arrangements must demonstrate consideration of increased traffic on Forest Road as visitation to the National Arboretum Canberra increases, and the role of Forest Drive as a designated cycling route. The design of access arrangements should be designed to ensure pedestrian and cycle priority, and that conflict between vehicles, and cyclists and pedestrians, is minimised.
Path networks across the site must:
