Drinkers who enjoy a quiet off-the-wood XXXX in the afternoon sun will find themselves in the shade for several months a year if plans for a 17-storey tower are approved.

Key points:

  • The land is flood-prone
  • Proposal is for 17 storeys (7 storeys over the neighbourhood plan limit)
    • 199 units
      • 45 one-bedroom apartments
      • 117 two-bedroom apartments
      • 16 three-bedroom apartments
    • 21 two-level “SOHO” (small office/home office) units
      • 18 three-bedroomers
      • 3 two-bedroomers
    • 247 cars over five basement levels
    • 234 bicycle parking stations
  • 10-metre buffer to Brekky Creek Hotel
  • Development’s “podium levels” will have cafes & restaurants on Brekky Creek frontage
  • ‘Because the plans did not meet the council criteria for the site, they were considered “impact assessable” and open to public submissions both for and against the proposal.’
