Project background
The site was allocated for mixed use development in City Plan Part 1 in 2016 under policy DA2.

Key revisions included:
- reductions in height and massing and alterations to the architecture of buildings in the north of the site
- 70 fewer homes overall with a higher percentage of larger units
- more views through the site and improved sunlight in public spaces
- increased sustainability measures, including 100% Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) and the addition of rooftop solar panels
- provision of a Remediation Strategy and associated Air Quality and Odour Management Plan for the construction stage
