Thirroul Plaza

Thirroul Plaza Developments Pty Ltd has hired development manager SolidVoid to oversee the community consultation process. Part of this involved the ‘Big Ideas Community Survey’, which ended on June 10. Analysis of the data resulting from this survey will take about 4 weeks. Upon completion the findings will be presented to the community via a range of channels including a face-to-face presentation, the date of which is to be advised.

McCauley Lodge

The TVC has been informed by the lawyers acting for Council, Marsdens, that the Conciliation Conference was unsuccessful and was terminated by the Land and Environment Court (LEC). As a result, a hearing before the LEC is scheduled to take place on 23, 24 and 25 October 2024. This will commence at 9.30am on 23 October on the site of McCauley Lodge before moving to the Land and Environment Court in Sydney for the rest of the proceedings.

Anglicare, Sandon Point

The TVC has been informed by Anglicare that the Concept Design phase of the Sandon Point Seniors Living Development is continuing to progress under a State Significant Development (SSD) application. A submission was made to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) in late 2023, known as ‘Modification 6’, which proposed a series of changes including the reconfiguration of building layouts and an increased number of independent living units to allow residents to receive care in their own home as their health needs change. The DPHI has since requested additional information in response to Anglicare’s submission, with the project team preparing a response package.

Approval of Modification 6 will provide the basis for an SSD application, which is targeted for submission later this year. In the meantime, Anglicare has reported that it is continuing to undertake the relevant environmental and social studies required by DPHI as part of its Environmental Impact Assessment.
