Planning Committee recommends refusal of permit for five-storey Portarlington building
Council’s Planning Committee has recommended the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) refuse a planning permit for a proposed five-storey apartment building in Portarlington.
The proposed building, on a visually prominent site at 49 Newcombe Street, would feature 13 apartments, two shops and a basement car park.
Given the slope of the land, the building would have the appearance of being three storeys from Newcombe Street, and five storeys from the parkland and pier to the north.
It would have a maximum height of 14.3 metres above ground level.
The application is also seeking a reduction of five car parking spaces on the statutory rate.
