Lake Macquarie Council has given the green light to an aged care facility at Bolton Point even though the development is more than double the standard building height for the area.
The $32 million project will feature 108 rooms on The Ridgeway, but due to the steep slope of the site, the building increases from 2 storeys at the south to 4 storeys to the north, meaning it exceeds the standard building height by 9 metres.
However, a report to council says the development includes high design elements and landscaping and tree retention which softens the bulk of the project.
