An Environmental Impact Statement by Ethos Urban for the proposed 348 home development in Rhodes, 12km west of Sydney's CBD, has been submitted as part of a State Significant Development.
It is classified as a mixed-use development comprising seven lots and a total area of 5,608msq, with an approximate 130m frontage to Concord Road to the east and 113m frontage to Blaxland Road to the west.
The proposal, won in a competition by architect BatesSmart and landscape architect Turf Design Studio, is for retail uses, a new fire station and landscaped public open space at the ground plane, seniors housing within the podium, and two 22- and 26-storey residential towers with 348 dwellings.
The podium would have three levels with 30 Independent Living Units (12 one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom) and a 93-bed residential care facility (31 beds on each floor).
The development, which is now on exhibition, is one of 34 submitted as a State Significant Development.
