Analysis<br />
Mizzoni’s Take Away<br />
Shane Redmond Residential<br />
16 Level in metres AOD<br />
This site comprises of underutilised scrub land, to the rear of the buildings on the<br />
Main Street. The site is currently steeply terrained with some established mature<br />
tree stands. To allow for sufficient and safe Vehicular access to the site the<br />
removal of one building (either Mizzoni’s take away or Shane Redmond<br />
Residential) would be necessary. This use can easily be accommodated in the<br />
new site. To allow for maximum development potential of the site, the existing<br />
surface car park will need to be developed upon. The loss of these car parking<br />
spaces will be replaced as part of the future underground parking proposal.<br />
Opportunity Site Brief<br />
Vision<br />
To allow new frontage development onto the River Ward. To create an enhanced<br />
and inviting pedestrian only public route between the new development, gently<br />
stepping down with a positive frontage overlooking the pedestrian route.<br />
