The plan proposes the construction of
a four-storey, 377-square-metre apartment tower on land which was originally
intended to be a public foreshore park.
Honeysuckle Residents Association
secretary Alistair Christie says errors in initial zoning classed 1.7 metres of
the foreshore as part of the site, an error which has been known to council
since 2008.
“The existing foreshore promenade
where people walk, when they sell the site it will actually be selling about
1.7 metres wide of the footpath… which is totally unacceptable.”
Mr Christie believes the site would be
best developed into a space for public use.
“Council, many years ago in 2003 put
forward a suggestion that there be a small publically orientated use put on
that site, possibly a small café, and that’s what would be appropriate use of
that site, a bike rental store, something like that for the public.”
