NBC required the applicant to submit a new DA rather than relying on the original 2014 DA and the subsequent Modification (Mod2021/0203). This was also the recommendation of Council’s Design + Sustainability Advisory Panel in its report.
APA opposed this new DA2022/0469 and made a submission to Council. The DA was referred to Northern Beaches Local Planning Panel (NBLPP) and the Panel recommended the DA be refused. On 20 April 2023 NBC formally refused the DA – see the Determination here. An appeal has been lodged
