The following revised development application is currently on exhibition. Submissions must be received by 5pm on Monday, 3 October 2022.
Development Application DA 98/2022(1)
The proposal to which the development application relates involves residential development to be undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 will involve the Torrens subdivision of the land into three residential lots and the construction on one of those lots of 17 townhouses (multi dwelling housing) fronting Dalton Street. Stage 2 will involve the development of the remaining two lots for the purposes of a residential flat building and public park. The proposed residential flat building will front Prince Street and will include 63 apartments composed of a mix of one-, two- and threebedroom apartments. The proposed public park will be 2,620m² in size and is to be embellished and dedicated to Orange City Council in accordance with a planning agreement prepared under section 7.4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (see description below). The proposed townhouse (multi dwelling housing) development and residential flat building will each be serviced by a basement car park with vehicle access provided to and from Sale Street. The site is currently zoned as both R3 Medium Density Residential and RE1 Public Recreation under the land use zoning provisions of Orange Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2011. The proposed development seeks to vary the maximum height standard prescribed by clause 4.3 of Orange LEP 2011.
The applicant has submitted revised documents proposing, among other things, the following additions and changes to the application:
- relocation of the proposed residential flat building and associated driveway and basement car park to be closer to the site’s Prince Street frontage;
- changes to the roof profile and materiality of the proposed residential flat building;
- changes to the form and articulation of the proposed townhouses fronting Dalton Street;
- creation of a public ‘pocket park’ on the site’s south-western corner; and
- provision of a Heritage Interpretation Strategy for the site.
