Make the balance of that proposed R2 zone west of the City Centre LEP to R3, FSR limit of 0.8:1, and a height limit of 11 metres. (That is, townhouse format with a higher density yield).

33	In the definitions of land use in the LEP document, please delete "Places of public worship" from the R1 and R2 zones under the "Permitted with consent" section. (This means section 6.16 will need to be consequently revised.)
34	In clause 6.12(1) in the LEP document, please change the text to "... maximum period of 28 consecutive calendar days, in any one calendar year."
35	Under Schedule 2 of Exempt Development, in the "Advertisements" section, please delete clause "(8) Must not be an "A" frame sign". (Note by staff: Council will need to include the provisions of the Exempt and Complying SEPP as directed by the DoP).
36	Under Schedule 1 of Additional Permitted Uses, in page 56, under "Flagpoles", why would we want to restrict the size of an Australian flag and the height of the pole itself? There may be good reasons in commercial/retail/office zones where much bigger flags and taller flagpoles are warranted, if not more desired? Could we therefore delete clauses (1), (2) and (6)?
