Planning approval was issued on 4 May 2010. The approved plans show two basement
levels of parking, ground floor (four tenancies) with parking at the rear, first floor (six
tenancies, store and discharge lounge area for the adjoining day surgery at No. 178
Cambridge Street), second floor (seven tenancies), and third floor (six, two bedroom
apartments). Council approved a shortfall of 23 parking bays (required: 150 bays, provided
127 bays), on the condition that a cash in lieu contribution of $162,500 is paid to offset this
shortfall. The Committee discussion suggested a figure of $7,500 per bay, however, the
final figure of $162,500 (see condition xii above) equates to $7,065.22 per bay.
On 29 November 2011, an application was submitted to extend the planning approval issued
on 4 May 2010. Unless otherwise provided, under Clause 42 (2) of the Town Planning
Scheme, approval is valid for two years. The reason for the request was to allow additional
time to meet the sales requirements due to the prevailing economic climate, finalise the
project and complete the documentation for a building application. The plans submitted with
the application showed minor changes to the tenancies but similar overall floor areas and the
