THE developer of an apartment complex proposed for Bayswater’s King William Road is sticking to seven storeys despite the council’s five-storey limit.
Yolk Property Group reckons it can win approval for its 27-apartment complex after making design changes.
The stance follows the metro central development assessment panel’s October rejection of Yolk’s application over ”bulk and scale”. The panel had said a, “five-storey development is considered to be more appropriate”.
But developer Pete Adams is ready to roll the dice: he reckons he can get the powerful state administrative tribunal onside. He says the updated design incorporates more parking space, a “heritage-style lower facade” and the streetfront space is now saved for a restaurant or boutique shop.
The proposal is up for public comment till Friday, January 22.
The SAT has set a deadline of February 19 for the MCDAP to assess Yolk’s updated application.
