A proposal to build 48 units at The Entrance, first approved 22 years ago by the former Wyong Council, has had modifications approved in the Land and Environment Court.
The application from Resico Pty Ltd to modify the consent of a development approved in 2003 will allow two levels of basement parking among other changes.
There has been a number of modifications to the original DA over the years.
The proposed development at the site known as 2a, 2, 4, and 6 Bayview Ave, The Entrance, will continue to provide one apartment building containing 48 units with six apartments per level located around a central core.
Consistent with the original DA, there are four corner apartments on each level that are naturally cross-ventilated with openings in different directions.
The number of storeys remains at eight residential storeys.
The footprint is generally consistent with the original DA but the height of the building will increase slightly.
“The change to the roof form compared with the original DA increases the overall height by 600mm,’’ the court heard.
“The increase in height has occurred progressively to enable the building to achieve sufficient floor to ceiling heights that were not a requirement at the time of the original DA.”
The Land and Environment Court oversaw two conciliation conferences with the company and Central Coast Council which were adjourned a number of times until agreement was reached on amended plans.
The court ratified the agreement on June 30.
