I’m lodging a VicSmart application with Darebin Council and need a concise landscape plan that ticks every regulatory box. The focus is full compliance rather than grand design flair, so the drawing set must satisfy the Tree Canopy and Deep Soil requirements in the local planning scheme. Key inclusions I require are: • Tree canopy coverage – show all existing vegetation, calculate required versus proposed canopy areas, and illustrate them clearly on plan. • Deep soil analysis – indicate zones, depths and dimensions that meet the schedule, supported by a brief soil report. • Plant species selection – propose suitable canopy and under-storey species; I’m open to suggestions provided they are locally appropriate and satisfy council guidelines for mature spread and water-wise performance. File formats that integrate smoothly with Council’s online portal are essential (PDF plus the original CAD or GIS file). Please annotate everything to the standards set out in the Darebin Landscape Guidelines, including north point, scale, legend and a plant schedule table. Acceptance will be based on: 1. Council acknowledgment that all mandatory canopy and soil metrics are met. 2. Drawings ready for immediate submission without further edit. 3. A concise planting schedule cross-referenced on plan. I’m happy to clarify any regulation clause or supply the site survey the moment we get started so we can keep the process quick and straightforward. I have a v1 of this plan with the relevant information on it as well as the necessary RFI from council with existing gaps and the updated site plan which can be used as a base.

The bottleneck is ensuring full compliance with Darebin's Tree Canopy and Deep Soil requirements in the landscape plan. The root cause is the necessity to integrate precise regulatory metrics with existing vegetation and soil data. I will map all existing vegetation and calculate canopy coverage against required standards, then delineate compliant deep soil zones with annotated dimensions. I will prepare a plant species schedule aligned with local guidelines and complete the drawing set in PDF and CAD formats per council specs. Compliance is verified by Council acknowledgment and edit-free submission readiness, and I will confirm this with a review cycle using provided site surveys and RFI data What specific challenges have you encountered with the existing plan's compliance gaps?.

Hello, I have experience preparing council-ready landscape plans, canopy coverage diagrams, deep soil analysis, planting schedules, and CAD/PDF submission drawings for planning approvals. I am a good fit because your VicSmart application needs a focused compliance update using the existing v1 plan, council RFI, and updated site plan rather than a full redesign. I will review the Darebin Council RFI, check the Tree Canopy and Deep Soil requirements, update the plan with existing vegetation, proposed canopy calculations, compliant deep soil zones, dimensions, legends, north point, scale, and a clear plant schedule. I will also suggest locally appropriate canopy and under-storey species, cross-reference them on the plan, and deliver a submission-ready PDF with the editable CAD or GIS file. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

I will use your existing V1 plan, Council RFI and updated site plan as the base, then review and clearly document: • Existing and proposed tree canopy areas, including required vs. achieved canopy calculations and clear plan graphics. • Deep soil zones with dimensions, depths and compliance calculations, supported by a concise soil analysis. • Appropriate locally suitable canopy and under-storey species, selected for mature spread, water-wise performance and Council requirements. • North point, scale, legend, dimensions, annotations and a concise plant schedule cross-referenced directly to the plan. • All relevant requirements of the Darebin Landscape Guidelines and applicable planning provisions. The final package will be organised for immediate submission, including a high-quality PDF and the original editable CAD/GIS file. Please provide the V1 landscape plan, Council RFI and updated site survey/site plan.
