The City previously advertised this application, from 15 September through to 16 October 2023, for a Six Storey Multiple Dwelling Development with a communal open space area on the rooftop.

A revised submission has been provided in response to the deferral, for a Five Storey Multiple Dwelling Development. The development is summarised as follows:
- A Five Storey Multiple Dwelling Development comprising 35 multiple dwellings with seven one-bedroom dwellings, 22 two-bedroom dwellings and six three-bedroom dwellings.
- A total of 54 car parking bays within the ground and mezzanine levels.
- A communal open space area located on the rooftop of the development with other landscaped areas provided on the ground level and Level 1.
The application will be determined by the Metro Inner Development Assessment Panel (DAP), which has now superseded the previous Metro-Inner North JDAP. The City’s role is to provide a recommendation to the DAP through a Responsible Authority Report. Information regarding the Development Assessment Panels process can be found on their website at https://www.planning.wa.gov.au/development-assessment-panels.
You are invited to comment on this proposal on or before 5.00pm, Friday, 5 April 2024. Please ensure you quote reference DA23/0883 on any submission. Late submissions will unfortunately not be able to form part of the City’s Responsible Authority Report to the DAP.
