Project overview

We are seeking feedback on a concept State Significant Development Application (SSD-95341456) for a proposed development at 7 Concord Avenue, 202 George Street, and 69-73 Victoria Avenue, Concord West (the site).

The proposal seeks to deliver additional housing, including affordable housing, in a highly accessible location close to public transport and services.

Specifically, the SSDA seeks approval for the first stage of development, anticipated to include:

concept proposal for seven (7) RFBs, ranging from 10-40 storeys in height overtop of podiums
detailed design for two of the seven towers
basement car parking
flood mitigation works
associated landscaping and public domain improvements, including the provision of through-site links.

Your feedback will help inform ongoing design development prior to lodgement of the planning application.

An in-person community drop in session has been scheduled for Tuesday 26th May between 3:30 - 5:30pm at Concord Memorial Haill. Please register to attend on the right.

Project facts

	Construction management A Construction and Traffic Management Plan will be prepared prior to construction to carefully manage adverse construction-related impacts including noise, traffic, and air quality. The proposal intends to minimise these impacts to the surrounding area.
	Traffic A Transport Impact Assessment will be prepared to support the application, which will ensure a safe and efficient access arrangement from and to the site, aimed to minimise any adverse impacts on the surounding area.
	Parking On site parking for motor vehicles and bicycles is proposed to be located within the building in accordance with the planning controls.
	Building form The design will be carefully refined to respond to the surrounding built form, taking cues from the height and density of the site’s existing and future context. Affordable housing The Concept Proposal will provide a minimum of 10% of the residential GFA as affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years, to be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider (CHP), supporting more inclusive housing outcomes.
	Access and location The site is strategically located near the Homebush Accelerated Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Precinct, positioning the proposed development to align seamlessly with the area’s anticipated future growth and transformation.
	Flooding A Flood Impact Risk Assessment (FIRA) will accompany the proposal and inform the future design of the proposed development as well as other aspects such as evacuation.
	Infratructure capacity An assessment of the social infrastructure needs (schools, open space and services) created by the proposal will be provided within the EIS.
	Heritage The future Development Application will comprise a Statement of Heritage Impact (SOHI) to ensure that the proposed development does not adversely impact Powell’s Creek Reserve.
