HillPDA | Mixed Use Development - Flinders St, North Wollongong

Project overview

We are inviting community input on a State Significant Development Application (SSD-85464245) for a mixed-use development at 4-4a Flinders Street, North Wollongong, NSW (the site).

The proposal seeks to deliver additional housing, including co-living apartments, in a highly accessible location close to public transport and services. It is anticipated to include the following key components:

A 38-storey mixed-use development
Approximately 293 Build-to-Sell (BTS) apartments, with 15% of the gross floor area designated as affordable housing
Approximately 211 co-living apartments
Ground-floor retail uses
Residential amenity spaces.

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

Two webinar briefings have been scheduled, including a presentation from the developer and architect on the plans for the site. Please register to attend.

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 surrounding area.
	Parking On site parking for motor vehicles and bicycles is proposed to be located within the building in accordance with the planning controls with due design consideration applied to minimise its impacts.
	Building form The design will be carefully refined to respond to the surrounding built form, taking cues from the height and density of the commercial zoned land to the north-west and seeks modest uplift to expand delivery of housing. Affordable housing The proposal includes 15% of dwellings as affordable housing (as defined by relevant planning laws), supporting more inclusive housing outcomes.
	Access and location The site benefits from excellent public transport, located immediately adjacent to North Wollongong train station and several key bus routes. The site is also located nearby key destinations, such as Beaton Park Leisure Centre (500m), North Wollongong Beach (900m) and University of Wollongong (1.5km).
