Planning authorities have officially signed off on TWT Global’s rezoning plans at 71 – 89 Chandos Street, with the amended planning controls for the site being gazetted on 15 July 2024.

Set on 2,467 sqm across 8 allotments, TWT’s planning proposal was informed by a concept scheme prepared by Smart Design Studio, which demonstrated the site’s location and size for increased density without generating any unacceptable environmental impacts.

Historically, the site has been limited by a 20-metre height restriction. This has since increased to 43 metres to make way for a 12-storey mixed-use building. A non-residential floor space ratio of 1:1 has been introduced to ensure the continual delivery of retail and office space in the precinct. These new controls will ultimately yield 64 apartments with a variety of sizes, configurations and bedrooms to suit a range of residents, including singles, couples and families.
