I'm with Ed. I see nothing 'overwhelming' - quite the opposite actually. What's the point in an arbitrary 6ft setback? What would go there? For what would it be used?
 
There's a lot of green space in the surrounding area that residents will be able to take good advantage of. Why waste any on a couple of metres' worth of space that they just have to pay to fertilize, mow, and water without getting any substantial benefit. Our suburbs are quite low density, and I'm glad that our new planning regime looks to use space more intelligently than we used to.

The perspective in the computer rendering is less realistic than the one in the aerial watercolour. I'd rather see renderings which suggest a vanishing point in the distance; the completely rectilinear ones just look grotesque to me at the distant end.

It's definitely not their urban fare. I haven't looked at the price per square foot here, but one assumes that they're not charging top dollar, and having to save some bucks because of that.
 
Things have changed a fair bit here since @PMT's post above. If I have the chronology right here, Building D was resubmitted for SPA as a 29-storey point tower in August 2017, but in a following resubmission from December 2017, it had become a 24-storey tower rising from a 12-storey podium. The building is essentially an upright L-shape now with 312 suites. There are no renderings of the redesigned building floating around out there. The rental, Building E, will have 140 units.

The presentation centre has been closed so that Buildings D and E can be built. Google Street View from Sept 2017 showed them still open at the time.

I have updated the database file.
