Planners Town Planning Alliance It is stated that “the variation application proposes to construct a new tower which will co-exist with the existing Novotel building. The project proposes a 15-storey building facing Merivale Street and will provide a continuous design from
Cordelia street. The proposed building area provides appropriate deviations from
adjacent objects to maintain the improvement of the area. Failures also provided support
extension of the existing gallery from Cordelia Street to Merivale Street.”

“Although the proposed building height exceeds the prescribed acceptable outcome under Kurilpa’s Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI), the design incorporates breaks between buildings instead of a continuous unit mass to reduce the appearance of bulk and scale. The design delicately reduces the height of the building, providing a stepped and varied facade, allowing a high level of articulation and modulation of the building’s form. Additionally, the proposed building height of 15 stories meets community expectations for the number of stories, as it remains below the maximum permissible height limit of 30 stories for higher-density residential buildings.”

The offer includes 10,000 sq. m of total area on a building site with an area of ​​3,646 sq. m.
