Units and studio flats planned for Sparks Road

A plan to build four, two-storey buildings that contain 160 units on Sparks Road, Hamlyn Terrace has been referred to the Regional Planning Panel.

The site is currently vacant land that contains development consent for a residential subdivision, internal road network and stormwater infrastructure.

A $35M project, of the 160 units, two are three-bedrooms, while the remainder are a combination of two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio flats.

Developers Bathla Group said the development “provides a range of housing opportunity” and its proximity to key transport infrastructure such as the Pacific Motorway, Pacific Highway, the Warnervale Train Station, and the local bus service is an asset to residences.

Catering for the units will be 302 car parking spaces and a private driveway that leads to a “collector road” at the back of the building.

The proposed development presents a ceiling height of 7.2m

The site has a northern frontage to Sparks Rd of approximately 75m.
