DA Update

Amended plans lodged for 2 Brighton Av- 133 Excelsior Pde

After five months of waiting amended plans were lodged by the developer on 19/9/17 leaving little time for community comment prior to the Land & Environment Court hearing on 9-10 October.

The amended plans include

• deleting Unit 4 to allow for visitor carpark 
• deleting vehicle access onto Brighton Ave (although a concrete driveway still exists on the plans) thus have all traffic moving on and off the site via Excelsior Parade 
• some additional planting around visitor carpark 
• provision of a turning area 
• increased solar access for Unit 19 

The Residents for Responsible Lakeside Development met to consider the amended plans and felt that overall there was little change in impact from the original submission. It remains unclear from the plans what trees will remain, LMCC officer commented on the inadequate documentation provided.
