GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               15 JANUARY 2018


The overall form of the approval is consistent with the previous approval in that the application
maintains the multiple dwelling development, together with minor ancillary activities including a
shop, café/restaurant and communal recreation facilities. The built form is maintained as the
buildings will remain a mix of 2-3 storeys with basement car parking.
The slight reduction in the number of dwelling units has not significantly altered the scale of the
multiple dwelling component of the development. The change to dwelling unit composition
involves a reduction in the number of 1 and 2 bedroom dwelling units, an increase in the number
of 3 bedroom dwelling units and the deletion of the 4 bedroom dwelling units. The reduction in 1
and 2 bedroom units results in a loss of housing diversity however there is no provision within the
planning scheme requiring a mix of bedroom numbers for new dwellings. It is likely that the
amended mix of dwelling types is in response to market demand. The minor change to the GFA
is still below that originally approved over the site.
A comparison of the proposed amendment against both the original approval and the most
recently modified approval is provided in the table below:-
