The project is being delivered in stages:
| Status | Stage |
|---|---|
| Underway | Stage 1a (DA 235/2020) included the excision of a seniors housing complex from the remainder of the site to facilitate the transfer of ownership from the NSW Land and Housing Corporation to Griffith City Council. It also included a road extension between the existing cul-de-sac in Snaith Place to the existing cul-de-sac in Garton Place and the creation of a lot within a 3352m2 portion of the site that will contain the future Stage 1b of the project. Civil construction works are presently underway to complete Stage 1a and prepare the site for Stage 1b. |
| Tender Process | Stage 1b relates to the construction of 20 affordable housing units by Argyle Housing under DA 28/2021 which is presently being assessed by the Western Regional Planning Panel. The 20 units would gain access from the Garton Place extension being delivered under Stage 1a and would also have frontage and pedestrian access to Walla Avenue. |
| DA Submitted |
The proposal also includes the following:
The cost of Stage 2 is $3.1 million which is below the $5 million threshold for the development application to automatically be determined by the Western Regional Planning Panel as per Schedule 7, State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011. |
