Decisions

The Panel unanimously refused Development Application DA2025/0567 for demolition works and construction of a seven storey co-living and boarding house at 5 Mona Street, Allawah. Reasons cited in the extract include failure to meet minimum lot size requirements under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021, insufficient information addressing WaterNSW and NSW Police responses, inadequate shadow diagrams, and a finding that the development was not in the public interest. The Panel noted the matter is before the Land and Environment Court.
