This 68 unit residential flat building has been designed to complete the mixed use Illawong Village. As the only residential flat building within Illawong, the building was designed to transition between a commercial and low density residential zone, capitalising on views of the Georges River and maximising natural light and ventilation. Planning Ingenuity successfully managed the planning process from project inception and initial advice through to approval by the Sydney East JRPP, gaining approval for 7,900m2 of residential floor space and variation of Council’s LEP height controls.
