A full assessment under the Residential Design Codes Volume Two (R-Codes) and the Local Planning Scheme No. 3 (LPS3) is yet to be completed. The assessment will be presented in a Council report which is currently scheduled for the February 2020 Council meeting.
The development proposal is just under 19 metres in height, which is two metres under the default height of six storeys/21metres in Table 2.1 of the R-Codes applicable to the RAC3 density code prescribed in LPS3.
Regarding your requests for a 3D model of Waratah Avenue, there is currently no statutory provision requiring the applicant to submit that level of detail.
Regarding air conditioners, they are show on the roof beside the lift overrun. An image follows.
In terms of your questions in relation to the objectives and provisions of the planning framework, this application has not yet been fully assessed as the City ensures that it takes into account the submissions received from the consultation period.
