A new development application has been lodged for medium density housing at 32 Bay Rd, The Entrance.
The lot is on the northeast corner of the Bay Rd/Boondilla Rd roundabout intersection, about 850m from The Entrance CBD.
A strata title proposal to build five three-storey units with roof-top terraces was refused by Central Coast Council in 2022 for multiple reasons.
Now, a second lot of plans have been submitted to Council (DA/2092/2024) which are currently on public exhibition.
The landowner wants to demolish the three detached single-storey residences on the block and construct nine three-bedroom apartments over three levels plus a terrace rooftop and parking at ground level.
All units will have generously-sized balconies and just over a quarter of the site area at ground level will be communal open space with a barbecue area and secured by 24/7 CCTV surveillance.
Access to the on-site parking for 15 vehicles will be via a 6m-wide combined entry and exit off Bay Rd.
The DA says the design and landscaping of the proposed apartment block at the prominent corner location would be a landmark, signalling a key gateway from The Entrance into the Blue Bay precinct, and contribute in a positive way to the evolving character of the area.
It is in an R3 Medium Density Residential Zone which encourages the consolidation of existing lots for well-designed medium density development.
The DA says the building design substantially complies with the 12m height control, but minor variations occur to the top of the lift overrun and balustrading.
The development also contravenes the floor space ratio regulations “to an extent”.
A Clause 4.6 variation request has been submitted as part of the DA to justify the required variations.
