Modified development at 28R Walsh Avenue, Maroubra accepted as having no significant adverse impact
The Panel was satisfied the modified development would not create significant adverse environmental impacts on local amenity and character, and noted it was a modification to a previously approved development.

301 Malabar Road, Maroubra (DA/258/2026)

Topics
Further information required for Maroubra height and view assessment
The Panel specifically asked for a well-founded Clause 4.6 objection and a view analysis to understand any height breach and possible view loss from the second-storey addition at 70 Marine Parade.
This is the key issue for neighbours concerned about privacy, overshadowing, built form and views.
Further information sought for Maroubra amendment
The 301 Malabar Road, Maroubra matter was left pending while the Panel awaits further information before reconvening.
The proposal is still unresolved, so residents and applicants will need to wait for a final decision.
Apartment design and amenity issues
The Maroubra application was said to fail communal open space requirements, deliver poor solar access outcomes for some apartments, and provide undersized balconies.
Relevant to future apartment design quality and liveability standards.
Contamination and acid sulfate soil risk
The panel noted insufficient investigation for potentially affected land, including no detailed site investigation and no acid sulfate soils assessment for the Maroubra site.
Important for site remediation, construction risk and environmental safety.
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.
Signals that the project can proceed despite exceeding the height control, which may interest nearby residents and planners.
City-wide engagement activities underway
The update outlined consultation actions including a mailout to 53,760 households, a 600-person telephone survey, visitor intercept surveys, pop-up sessions at Coogee and Maroubra beaches, precinct and chamber briefings, translated materials, website information, email notifications, social media, videos and digital display screens.
Residents had multiple ways to learn about and respond to the paid parking proposal, including translated materials and in-person sessions.
Beachfront public-interest considerations at Marine Parade, Maroubra
The minutes refer to operations, public amenities and ongoing community use of the beachfront as part of the proposal’s assessment.
The outcome could influence how the beachfront is used and managed by the community.
Maroubra development assessment outcomes
The meeting focused on multiple deputations and two Maroubra development applications, with the main substantive outcome being refusal of the 57 Robey Street proposal and a negative panel view of the 3 Bona Vista Avenue parking layout.
These decisions affect neighbourhood character, traffic, parking and future development in Maroubra.
Post-facto traffic and parking changes across multiple suburbs
The forum received a series of information-only items covering no stopping, no parking, bus zone, MIPPS, stop control, line marking and timed parking changes across Randwick, Coogee, Kingsford, Chifley, Clovelly, Maroubra, Malabar and Kensington.
These works affect kerbside parking, local access and road safety in several neighbourhoods.
