The meeting is your opportunity to comment on the revised
proposal for stages 9 and 10 before the site owner, Meriton, finalises its
plans and lodges them with Council. Meriton’s consultants and Council officers
outline the proposal, explain how it will be assessed and answer your
questions.
Previous plans for the site included 241 units in five
towers, with heights from seven to 15 storeys. Meriton revised its plans in
response to concerns from residents and the Central Sydney Planning Committee.
However, I remain concerned about some aspects, particularly supermarket access
from Crescent Street, which residents previously opposed strongly.
The revised plans add a new childcare centre and include:
- three
residential towers which vary in height from 6 to 15 storeys with 203
units; - 3,790sq
metres of retail space including a 2,642sq metre supermarket and 11 shops,
down from the 13 originally planned; - entry
and exit to the basement supermarket car park is via Crescent Street, with
the loading dock accessed via Crescent Street with exit via Danks Street; - access
to the residential car park from Crescent Street with a secondary access
on Danks Street;
and - a
total of 432 car parking spaces, compared to 399 in the original proposal.
If approved, these plans will complete the final stages of
the ACI site redevelopment. You will be able make a formal written submission
on the revised proposal after it is lodged with Council and publicly exhibited
in early 2007.
