Decisions
Refusal – 960 Anzac Parade, Maroubra (DA/176/2026)
The Panel refused consent for demolition and a part-7/part-8 storey mixed-use co-living and affordable housing proposal, citing zoning, height and floor space non-compliance, amenity, design excellence, contamination and information deficiencies, among other reasons.
Stops a major redevelopment proposal and preserves the current planning position for nearby residents while the applicant would need to pursue further changes if it wants to resubmit.
34 Mermaid Avenue, Maroubra - development consent granted
The panel accepted the applicant’s written request to vary the height of buildings development standard in Randwick LEP 2012, finding compliance was unreasonable and unnecessary and that sufficient environmental planning grounds existed. Consent was granted for demolition and construction of a 3-storey dwelling house with basement parking, storage, plant rooms, foyer, swimming pool within the front setback, excavation and associated works, subject to conditions.
Allows a new dwelling development in Maroubra, with implications for local amenity, streetscape, parking and construction impacts.
22 Amour Avenue, Maroubra — development consent granted
Consent was granted for DA/16/2026 to regularise the use of unauthorised as-built structures at the existing dwelling house, subject to the assessment report conditions.
Supports lawful use of the dwelling while keeping conditions in place to manage neighbourhood impacts.
5R & 5RR Marine Parade, Maroubra – refusal position for conference
The panel noted Council’s refusal recommendation and said it would also refuse the matter, with concerns to be focused on at the upcoming S34 conference on 22/06/2026.
Signals likely refusal of a proposal affecting the beachfront area in Maroubra and further public process before any final outcome.
DA refused at 57 Robey Street, Maroubra
The panel refused DA/1415/2025 for an 8-storey residential flat building with 16 apartments and basement parking, citing inconsistency with planning controls, poor design, inadequate parking, amenity impacts, and insufficient supporting information.
This means the proposed development cannot proceed in its current form and may be revised or appealed.
Refusal of 57 Hannan Street, Maroubra (DA/1302/2025)
The panel visited the site, considered submissions and council’s assessment report, then refused the application by unanimous vote.
Affects development outcomes and neighbourhood change in Maroubra.
Topics
Height variation approved for Maroubra dwelling
The panel was satisfied that the proposed departure from the height standard at 34 Mermaid Avenue was justified by planning grounds.

The outcome could influence how the beachfront is used and managed by the community.
Maroubra development assessment outcomes

These decisions affect neighbourhood character, traffic, parking and future development in Maroubra.
