Application: Co-living housing looking to increase number of rooms
Parramatta City Council has received a Development Application (DA) for a modification to a existing DA for the construction of a part two and part three storey co-living housing development with basement parking at 9 O’Reilly Street, Parramatta.
The original DA was approved with a total of 20 rooms comprising of seven single lodger rooms, 13 double lodger rooms as well as two accessible rooms and four parking spaces in the basement.
The modification is seeking to increase the number of co-living rooms from 20 to 25 split into two single lodger rooms and 23 double lodger rooms.
Also included in the modification are plans to introduce an upper-level communal terrace to improve resident amenity.
“The modification results in a better version of the same development – a three-storey co-living building with basement parking, consistent architectural expression, and an improved contribution to the O’Reilly Street streetscape to avoid the ‘missing tooth’ in terms of the built form noting the prevalence of 3 storey forms along O’Reilly Street,” the Statement of Environmental Effects (SE) attached to the DA said.
Parramatta City Council will now assess the modification.
Approved: Car showroom to receive upgrades
Parramatta City Council has approved a modification to an existing Development Application (DA) for internal and external changes at a commercial facility to improve the site’s look.
The commercial facility, the Lexus Showroom at 2 Church Street/40-44 High Street in Parramatta, is looking to introduce a new external car display in front of the showroom, a new boom gate, new signage, and other landscaping work.
“In summary, the proposed modifications will not exhibit any significant environmental impacts and will not adversely impact on the amenity of any adjoining sites,” the Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) attached to the DA said.
“No further impacts in terms of noise impacts are likely to occur as a result of the proposed modifications.”
