  • Amend the site’s Floor Space Ratio control from 1:1 to 3:1
  • Apply a Height of Building control of 18m at the front of the site and 32 metres for the remainder of the site
  • Remove the Foreshore Building Line that applies to the site
  • Add ‘Office and Business Premises’ as an additional permitted use on the site
  • Apply a floor space cap of 7000m2 to the additional permitted uses.

We encourage you to view the exhibition material in the document library.
