The Shell Cove Boat Harbour Precinct was the subject of a Concept Approval granted on 15 February 2011. There have been no modifications to the Concept Approval.

 

On 9 August 2017, the Proponent lodged a modification application seeking to:

  • increase the maximum number of dwellings from 1,238 to 1,566;
  • revise housing densities and typologies across the site;
  • reconfigure the Town Centre layout including relocating the hotel building to the northern gateway;
  • increase the maximum building height in certain areas;
  • include ‘serviced apartments’ and’ residential accommodation’ as permissible uses within the hotel building;
  • include an additional 6,000m² of land within Precinct E (the ‘northern lands’) for residential development; and
  • refine road patterns and layout.
  • The Department of Planning and Environment will assess the merits of the modification application for the Shell Cove Boat Harbour Precinct. 
  • As part of our assessment process, we asked for feedback to better understand the views and concerns of the community.
