The first stage of a new mixed-use precinct on the northeast corner of the Gungahlin Town Centre will rise to seven storeys and contain about 50 units.
The proponent, Platinum Accounting, is planning a three-stage development for the site on the corner of Manning Clark Crescent and Anthony Rolfe Avenue, with this proposal to be built on its northwest corner.
Consultation has opened on the proposal ahead of a development application being lodged.
The site is identified as mixed-use within the Gungahlin Precinct Code and is zoned CZ5 – Mixed Use Zone.
The first stage proposed also includes two commercial tenancies, and the development will have basement parking and an attic. It will offer a broad mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments.
Preliminary plans from Cox Architecture show two buildings rising from level one, linked by an external pedestrian staircase.
Dark industrial-styled framed glazing will be used for large portions of the facade, together with dark aluminium glazing.
The project website says exposed precast concrete will frame the industrial windows as well as being the main material for the east and west facades.
Thin metal balustrading will be used for the rooftop terrace and internal voids, complemented by the dark metal cladding and dark metal deck roof.
In the basement, 47 parking spaces are provided, with 25 at level one, part of which will be below ground due to the site’s slope. Further parking will be included as the site progresses.
The plans show an access laneway from Ernest Cavanagh Street.
The development will be close to shops and services, the new cinema and light rail.
A community feedback form is available on the project’s website.
