Engage Architecture is holding an online public information meeting for a housing proposal near Phibbs Exchange.
The last date to provide input is November 3.
Engage Architecture is proposing to construct two six-storey wood frame rise buildings at 405-485 Marie Place, at the corner of Crown Street and Marie Place.
The proposal is for 140 units, which will include 47 one bedroom units, 74 two-bedroom units, and 19 three bedroom units.
Vehicle access will be from a new commercial lane off of Crown Street.
As many as 161 parking spaces are being provided in an underground parking garage.
The proposal includes land dedication for the future expansion of Marie Place park, and the purchase of five metres of DNV land along Marie place to be included in the development.
The developer is proposing 8378 square feet of new parkland, 10 mins from phibbs exchange and access to pedestrian and cycling routes.
Please tell us there will be some housing for disabled some social housing?
For a project this size the “normal” parkland requirement is over 100,000 sq-ft. 8378sq-ft is an insult.
