20 Laycock St proposal- DA1274/2013

On behalf of the community The Progress Association sought and was granted an extension to the notification period until 6th May and requested that those who had previously lodged comments be advised of the amended plans.

The proposed development of 26 multiple dwellings at 20 Laycock Street has been amended, reducing the development by two dwellings to accommodate access to the site, access for garbage storage and an expanded community area.

The 2-storey units have been split into pairs to accommodate changes in levels across the site and reduce the perceived bulk. The number of structures has consequently increased from 9 to 12. There are twelve 2 bedroom and twelve 3 bedroom dwellings proposed.

The amended plans are available on council’s Application Tracking website. The documentation is dated 17/2, identified as ‘Additional Information’ D06892475 and D06894195. A copy of the amended application is available from the blog as well.

An overall site plan was not publically available so the diagram below is a modified shadow diagram to allow people to gain a perspective on the proposed development.



To lodge a comment on the amended plans you will need to email or mail your views to LMCC; council@lakemac.nsw.gov.au or Box 1906 HRMC, NSW 2310.
  • if your previous comments remain pertinent a statement to that effect will suffice you don’t have to write a completely new, detailed submission,
  • you can copy and paste your previous submission  or
  • write a completely new one.
  • If your issues have been addressed, make that known as well
  • If you didn’t make a comment previously you can now have your thoughts heard 

The important thing is to make your views known. This is an opportunity to ensure that the development aligns with the aspirations of a community that enjoys and respects the local environment and the existing residents within it.

The Coal Point Progress Association and Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group still have concerns about the scale and impact of the development on the local community, existing infrastructure and wildlife corridor, whilst acknowledging it would be ‘good for business’ at the Carey Bay shops.

The comments made on the original application last October remain relevant and can be viewed on the blog.

Comments on the amended application are outlined below in the form of a sample letter which is also available on the blog.
