[4] Unless the existing building exceeds 12 metres, which is not the case here.

[5] For example, in another context, in DDO7 of the Bayside Planning Scheme, architectural services are listed to expressly include domes, towers and masts.

[6] Via an amalgam and derivation of the terms "architecture" and "feature".

[7] The responsible authority confirmed that the shade canopy was in the nature of a horizontal projection that would not rise above 12 metres in height.

[19] At this stage one owner seems to have indicated a willingness to take up this offer.

[20] Assuming that it was carried out with a relatively even power balance and with the benefit of an informed decision making process.

[21] I also note that a heritage assessment has been prepared by Mr Bryce Raworth in connection with the application and that both the building and streetscape are of heritage significance.
