16 Indicative Solar Access Comparison Introduction This summary report seeks to examine the overshadowing impacts arising from both proposed, Tower A amendments contemplated under DA No D/2015/882 and proposed Tower B Hotel contemplated under SSD 15_7101 (envelope interpreted from D/2015/882) upon the proposed public realms created under Lend Lease Development s LLCQ Planning Proposal, lodged with the City of Sydney in October 2014 and recently supported by both the City of Sydney and CSPC in the respective June meetings. The opportunity to create the proposed George Street Public Plaza as contemplated under the LLCQ Planning Proposal has arisen due to the collaboration between Lend Lease Development (landowners of George Street and Pitt Street), the adjacent joint Landowners of 200 George Street (Mirvac and AMP) and the City of Sydney. Analysis Area The scope of the analysis area is defined by the usable areas of publicly accessible plazas and laneways at George Street and Pitt Street levels as defined in the September 2014 Lend Lease Circular Quay Planning Proposal (defined by the yellow boundary in the following solar studies). The impact to solar access (ie overshadowing) has been compared across three scenarios: 1. Current LLCQ September 2014 Planning Proposal including approved envelopes for 1 Alfred Street Tower A and B DA No D/2010/2029 and 19 Pitt D/2010/1533 as a base case; 2. Proposed, Tower A Amending DA No D/2015/882 in isolation; and 3. Proposed Tower A Amending DA with proposed Tower B SSD 15_7101 (interpreted from envelope depicted in Amending DA No D/2015/882 ). Dates/Times Assessed Under the current Lend Lease Circular Quay Planning Proposal, the publicly accessible space receives morning sun (at some time) for almost 7 months of the year. Of these 7 months, HASSELL have selected to compare the end of each month from September through to March between 8.00am to 12.00pm across the three scenarios. Methodology The overshadowing studies contained within this report have been produced by HASSELL using 3D Studio Max, and have been based on the following base information: _City model supplied by the City of Sydney including city buildings and topography (The supplied model has an accuracy of +/- 300mm) _Proposed envelope model of the Lend Lease tower, podium and plaza prepared by HASSELL _Indicative massing models of approved schemes located on other sites in the APDG Block (interpreted from various sources including previously publicly exhibited Development Applications including DA No D/2010/2029) _Indicative massing model of the proposed Tower A Amending DA prepared by HASSELL based on material submitted to the City of Sydney by WANDA under Amending DA No D/2015/882. _Indicative massing model of the proposed Tower A Amending DA and proposed Tower B SSDA interpreted and prepared by HASSELL based on material submitted to the City of Sydney by WANDA under Amending DA No D/2015/882. The shadow studies contained within this report are accurate to the implied limits of the supplied base information. HASSELL cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of information prepared by other parties. Executive Summary The indicative studies demonstrate that during the morning periods between the months of late September through March (approximately 6 calendar months) the proposed Tower A amendment (DA ) will create additional overshadowing to the LLCQ Planning Proposal George Street publicly accessible plaza space. During the same period (late September through late March), the proposed amended Tower B Hotel (SSD at RL 112.5) creates significant additional morning overshadowing beyond the approved D/2010/2029 and D/2010/1533 schemes. In many cases, 100% of the direct morning period solar access that would currently reach both the LLCQ Planning Proposal George Street public plaza and laneways is lost under the Wanda Hotel proposal. Looking beyond the LLCQ study area, the proposed amended Tower B Hotel (SSD at RL 112.5) in some cases also compromises the currently available direct sunlight to the public forecourt of Grosvenor Place.

17 Indicative Solar Access Comparison Current Planning Proposal Scheme September 30 The solar studies below illustrate a summary of the extent and times that the area of publicly accessible plazas and laneways receive solar access in the morning of the 30th September. The studies demonstrate that the proposed Tower A amendment (DA ) creates additional overshadowing to the publicly accessible space, while the addition of the proposed amended Tower B Hotel (SSD 15_7101 at RL112.5) creates more significant additional overshadowing. Under the current scheme, the proposed George Street plaza begins to receive direct sunlight at around 8.20am while with the addition of the proposed amended Tower B Hotel (SSD 15_7101 at RL112.5), access to direct sunlight in the plaza in the morning does not begin until around 10.50am. Significant amount of solar access to the proposed north-south laneway is also lost in the morning with the addition of the proposed amended Tower B Hotel (SSD 15_7101 at RL112.5).
