A $97 million State Significant Development application for a 12-storey co-living building at 35-51 Nicholson Street, Wollstonecraft, is now on public exhibition. The proposal, lodged by WEE HUR (BURANDA 2) PTY LTD, seeks approval for demolition of existing structures and construction of purpose-built student accommodation with 449 rooms.
The scheme includes 10,564 sqm of gross floor area on a 2,744 sqm site. No car parking is proposed, with the application citing proximity to Crows Nest metro and St Leonards railway stations. Bicycle parking is included to support active transport.
The building would reach 43 metres in height, consistent with the North Sydney LEP maximum. The proposal seeks variations to non-discretionary standards under SEPP (Housing) 2021, including a zero car parking provision and setback adjustments due to site constraints and substation location.
The application estimates 1,000 construction jobs and 100 operational jobs. The project is being assessed as State Significant Development due to its scale and use.
