Approval pushes on
BANORA Point could become one of the most densely settled parts of the Tweed, with a new developer pushing for approval of a huge complex of apartments and units in buildings up to three storeys high.
Tweed Shire Council received the latest development application for an $8.8 million complex of units and townhouses from Gold Coast's Rossco Developments.
The company's consultants say the complex will exceed the height limit for the area because a block of flats would be three storeys, but draft changes to the Local Environment Plan would allow that.
They argue “increasing the height of the development is a more efficient use” of the site.
The development of 18 units and 38 townhouses in Darlington Dr would be just west of the new Pacific Highway upgrade over Sexton Hill and is close to Lake Kimberley and the Club Banora complex.
The consultants told the council “the area ... is undergoing some redevelopment”.
