Reasons for Decision

The application was approved for the following reasons:

(A)        The application is supported by an Arborist Report that demonstrates the trees identified for removal cannot be retained during the remediation process approved under D/2020/923 (as amended) and the proposed layout under SSD 10381.

(B)        The application is consistent with relevant local environmental planning policies and City planning and public domain strategies.

(C)       The development will facilitate the construction of the future Green Square Integrated Community Facilities and School which will involve replacement tree canopy and is therefore within the public interest.

(D)       Condition 4 was amended to specifically reference the arborist’s report for further clarity.

Carried unanimously.
