Why you have received this letter
The City has received the abovementioned development application.
The City has received an application for a three (3) storey Commercial development (retail (shop) & office) at the subject lot.
Under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.42 (LPS42) the lot is zoned Centre with the proposed development being a ‘D’ Discretionary use.
The subject lot also falls under the Queens Park Local Structure Plan (QPLSP) within the Railway Precinct - Core (R60-R160) and is considered as a Preferred land use under Table 3.
An assessment of the proposal found that it does not meet all of the development provisions of the Railway Precinct - Core.
Prior to making a decision on the application, adjoining affected owners have been invited to view the development plans and elevations, and make comment on the planning matters that affect their property.
Noting the scale and scope of the variations proposed by the adjoining development, your feedback is strongly encouraged as it may be required to effectively determine the application.
