The Southern Joint Regional Planning Panel is expected to meet on 29 November to determine significantly modified plans for a seniors living complex on a sloping battleaxe block between Collins St and Meares Place.

The new plans show the complex’s design is no longer based around a central courtyard, is lower in height and has increased distance from boundaries with neighbours.

There are seven one bedroom, 41 two bedroom and 10 three bedroom apartments proposed for the complex, with one commercial space fronting Collins St (currently the Old Kiama Co-Op). When the Panel deferred the initial plans, the proponent went to the Land & Environment Court.
