resolved in some other way, then reinstatement of the front garden would be desirable.
>        The current work by NFSA to re-establish native grasses and plant native shrubs in the western corner of the residence garden is supported.
–        This area could be enhanced and its significance conserved and protected by introducing gravel paths into areas where grass is not growing and forming beds with grass and native plants. A landscape plan should be developed for this area.
–        The construction of gravel paths and installation of plantings in 2010 does not appear to have resulted in the enhancement of native grasses. The area is presently characterised by tightly spaced conifer/deciduous/ native/ ornamental trees, some native understorey planting, and large areas of unplanted mulch. The current situation needs review.

  Residence Executive Carpark Gardens
    >        It is desirable to maintain the character of the drying area by conservation of the clothes hoist, grass, fencing, wisteria planting and concrete gate posts.

  Residence paved surround
    >        It is desirable to reduce the visual dominance of brick paving and stormwater strip drain surrounding the residence building.

  Courtyard landscape
    >        It is desirable to recreate or re-interpret the original courtyard landscape design in upgrade works. This might include the presence of some trees or large 'overarching' shrubs growing to 4-5m at maturity.

  Annex courtyard
    >        It is desirable to preserve some visual distinction between the original and newer Annex courtyards by use of complimentary but distinct materials, finishes, planting structure and species, etc.

  Annex and carpark native grasses
    >        It is desirable to establish and maintain dense and continuous native grass ground coverage within garden areas, including areas with diminished cover at time of this review at the ends of the Annex and surrounding the south carpark.

  Site furniture guide
    >        It is desirable to establish a palette/guide for the design and selection of external fixtures (bike rails, seats, bins, shelters, signage, etc) which is complimentary to the site and building character in colour, finish, material, design form, scale, etc.

  Site weed species replacement
    >        It is desirable to incrementally remove environmental weeds (e.g. Cotoneaster, Pyracantha) and replace with non-invasive species of a similar character and growing requirements, as the opportunity arises (suitable ones can be suggested when required).

  Walkway interface between residence and main building
    >        It is desirable to preserve the formal arrangement of hedging, seating areas, pathways and gardens in the walkway area which give spatial and visual definition to the interface between the main building surrounds and the residence.

  Carpark screening
    >        It is acknowledged that the open grassed areas are exceptional features, however where carparks have been introduced it would be acceptable to introduce and maintain borders of low (say,
