A $86.6 million mixed-use tower proposal in Burwood is now on exhibition, with plans for a 40-storey building at 8, 10 and 12 George Street.
The State Significant Development application, lodged by Hyside 8 George St Pty Ltd, seeks approval for 112 dwellings including 16 affordable housing units to be managed for 15 years. The scheme also includes a mix of non-residential uses such as a restaurant, bar, cafe and office space, totalling 682 sqm of non-residential GFA.
The tower would reach 135.5 metres and deliver a gross floor area of 12,571 sqm on a 794 sqm site, with a proposed floor space ratio of 15.84. The design provides 68 car spaces across seven basement levels, 124 bicycle spaces, two car share bays and 18 motorcycle spaces.
The residential mix comprises 8 one-bedroom and 8 two-bedroom affordable units, with the balance of market apartments including 28 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom, 34 three-bedroom and 2 four-bedroom dwellings. Communal open space of 589 sqm and landscaped areas are also proposed.
The application seeks approval for a building height and FSR that exceed the current local controls, which permit 70 metres and a lower FSR. The project is being assessed under the HDA Housing pathway as State Significant Development.
