1.0 URBAN GROWTH SYDNEY Sydney is a global city, the premier city in Australia and the economic capital of the country. Sydney strong economy and spectacular natural environment and relaxed life style has made the city the envy of other cities in Australia and around the world. The government s Plan for Growing Sydney will develop a competitive economy with world class services and transport; to deliver greater choice to meet our changing needs and lifestyles. Government s objectives are to create a urban plan that connects where people live and work. Leppington is located within the South West Growth Centre of which Leppington is identified as a Strategic Centre. Leppington is approximately 50 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. South West Growth Centre is one of two growth centres outlined in the Government Strategy. The new proposed Badgerys Creek Airport is located within this South West Growth Centre exponentially increasing potential opportunities in the development of this strategic area. The following maps have been extracted from A Plan for Growing Sydney.

4.0 CONCEPT 4.1 Spatial composition The composition of the buildings adopted an irregular layout and various heights to emulate a eucalyptus forest. The change of heights, different setbacks, roof top gardens add visual texture generating visual intrigue and interest. A central boulevard has minimised extensive road systems and consequential hard surfaces. The proposal has maintains various open spaces with interconnecting pathways, cycle tracks and outdoor recreational areas. The rectangular blocks in the spatial plan represent location of proposed buildings. The design of each individual building will be determined at the next stage. Beneath the boulevard are the aqua lungs of the proposed water harvesting system that will maintain the landscaped areas and other specific uses. The concept will adopt an energy dependency policy; buildings will require photovoltaic windows and balustrades. The energy collected will be stored for the benefit of the community. Other passive design principles will also be a design requirement decreasing the dependence of energy for comfort.

Site 3:00PM 3D View of Boulevard and building 5 & 15 5.0 GREEN ROOFS The roof garden insulates the building, helping simultaneously to mitigate the urban heat island effect and keep the immediate floor below cool. Introducing native vegetation will restore biodiversity and provide a habitat for local wildlife. The main cause of the urban heat island effect is from the modification of land surface and waste heat generated by energy usage. The proposed land usage: Building foot print - 30.0% Hard surfaces; roads and footpaths - 10.0% Landscape and recreational areas 60.0% Two principles adopted firstly reduction of thermal bulk and secondly the increase of vegetation result in lowering the micro temperatures offer shading, cooling effect of trees and the removal of carbon dioxide. Other benefits of a green roof are the social and physical benefits. The design will provide facilities encouraging interaction and social participation. Horticulture will also be an active part of the green roof. Examples: Highbreak Pty Ltd Green Fields Leppington Proposed Master Plan Pag 8

Total number of apartments is subject to the developer s internal spatial requirements, composition and configuration. 3. The number of apartments permissible in reference to the F.S.R is approximately 1,100 two bedrooms apartments. This number varies subject to composition of 1BR, 2BR and 3BR. 4.

7.0 INFRASTRUCTURE Leppington Train Station is fully operational located next to the proposed Town and Civic Centres. A proposed pedestrian bridge over Ingleburn Road will connect Green Fields Leppington to the proposed Town Centre and Leppington Train Station. Green Fields Leppington is located opposite the proposed Town Centre and is approximately 800m from the Leppington Train Station. 8.0 FEASIBILITY The feasibility and cash flow report has been professionally prepared and is available upon request. The master plan allows flexibility; several options are available reducing the impact on cash flow. 9.0 LAND TITLE The masterplan includes six (6) independent groups each composed of three (3) integrated buildings with a common sub terrain carpark. This allows for flexibility in developing the site in terms of equity and market. Ownership will incorporate a Community Title Subdivision with one Community Title and six (6) Strata Lots in total, seven (7) titles. The proposed titles will allow the owner of the site to progressively stage the development or on-sell the Strata Lots to other developers. Each group of three buildings may also be staged once the sub terrain carpark has been constructed. This option would require a design concept allowing staging. The masterplan and proposed tile structure allows flexibility in the proposed development.
