that they are necessary for the successful operation of the hotel.
Development should achieve best practice in environmentally sustainable design through the use of innovative technology, design and ongoing building operation. Development should be designed to:
       * reduce energy consumption, reduce total operating greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce peak demand through particular design measures such as appropriate building orientation, space allocation for solar panels, and shading to glazed surfaces
       * improve water efficiency, reduce total operating potable water use, collect and reuse stormwater, use alternative water sources (such as greywater)
       * provide a healthy indoor environment including the provisions of fresh air, cross ventilation and natural daylight, reduce reliance on mechanical heating, ventilation, lighting and cooling
       * minimise noise levels and noise transfer within and between buildings and associated external areas
       * incorporate the use of water sensitive urban design, including stormwater collection and reuse.
Building and landscape design should incorporate biophilic design patterns that enhance connectivity with nature, and contribute to the health and well‑being of visitors. Examples of how this may be achieved include:
       * using the site's location within the arboretum to create opportunities for direct visual connections to nature, living systems and natural processes
       * designing buildings that allow natural fluctuations in temperature, airflow, and humidity to mimic natural environments
       * providing opportunities to experience the place through the seeing, hearing or touching of water
       * the use of biomorphic forms and patterns in building materials and landscape design, including contoured, patterned, textured or numerical arrangements that persist in nature
       * landscape design that entices people to travel deeper into the environment
       * the use of materials or landscape elements from nature that, through minimal processing, reflect the local ecology or geology and create a distinct sense of place.
Building and landscape design must consider the privacy and security of guests. Fencing is not permitted. Landscape should be used to delineate between the public and private realms.
Buildings should be sited to take advantage of views and vistas to the Brindabella Ranges to the west and north‑west, and to the Central National Area in the east.
Development must demonstrate consideration of climatic conditions, including wind and heat. Proposals must also demonstrate consideration of resilience to extreme weather events, such as bushfire, and the measures proposed to manage the impacts from such events.
Development proposals must incorporate measures to address noise generated from external sources, including from the Tuggeranong Parkway. Measures may include the use of building 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,
