offsite landscape zones to Canberra Avenue and State Circle must be developed to provide a high quality landscape setting with space for planting shrubs and medium to large trees. The front and offsite landscape zones must be filled to ensure fall away from the ground level of buildings.
The Canberra Avenue verge will have inter‑plantings of Eucalyptus mannifera and Prunus species consistent with nearby plantings along Canberra Avenue, and the indicative planting pattern shown in Figure 36. The State Circle verge will have Quercus species plantings consistent with verge trees along State Circle, and the indicative planting pattern shown in Figure 36.
Landscaping should soften built mass presented to Canberra Avenue and State Circle.
Wide building entrances marked with considered landscaping should be used to create formal and legible address frontages to Canberra Avenue and State Circle. These entrances should be integrated with existing footpaths.
A publically accessible, high quality landscaping treatment, reflecting the indigenous landscape character of the land between State Circle and Capital Circle is to be provided at the corner of Canberra Avenue and State Circle to increase the amenity and visual quality for the site.
Letter box pillars, utility meters and minor service structures located in the landscape zone should be harmoniously integrated with the landscape design.
The rear landscape zone is to provide for a substantial landscape buffer that will afford privacy to rear neighbours and maintain winter sunlight to those properties.
Existing trees to the western boundary of Block 10 Section 13 Barton should be maintained where possible to ensure visual privacy between new development and the existing childcare centre. Additional planting to the rear of the site should be used to enhance privacy to the childcare centre without compromising solar gain.

Off‑site works
Off‑site landscape works, as indicated in Figure 36, consistent with landscaping for the subject site, may be required as part of the approval for development.
