A development application for construction of a new residential flat building in Tuncurry has been given the green light by council.
The proposal was approved at MidCoast Council’s most recent development control unit meeting, which took place at Forster Council Chambers in December.
Mr Gavin Maberly-Smith addressed council in support of the application.
The plan for the development is a five storey building, with 20 residential units and a basement car park for 46 vehicles.
The proposal sought consent to demolish the existing buildings on the three property lots located at 1 Taree Street, 3 Taree Street and 1 Peel Street.
The new development will be a residential flat building with commercial space at the ground floor level.
The development application also sought a variation to the maximum height and floor space ratio standards applying to the site.
