May 2008: ACTPLA Decision on Deakin Embassy Motel Site
The
ACTPLA has approved the seven storey 114 unit residential development on the Embassy
Motel site. Although some significant conditions have been imposed on the developer
including the removal of hazardous waste, worrying aspects include permission
to remove more trees from the site than approved by the Conservator and the inadequate
response to the need for off-street parking. Some Deakin residents feel that the
major infrastructure issues have not been addressed, other than in general terms.
The
"Notice
of Decision" deals with major issues raised by the community on pages
20-23.
There
remains the option of a further appeal to ACTPLA and/or the AAT, but it is not
known if there will be one.
