MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING
Council has voted to approve the development of a guesthouse at 70 Darling Street, North Dubbo.
The single-storey construction will follow the demolition of an existing residential dwelling and the developer adhering to conditions imposed by Council.
The original two-storey development proposal submitted to Council was not considered to be consistent with surrounding development and the existing streetscape.
Mayor Allan Smith said the new plans submitted were in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.
“The scale and style of the development has been re-designed to better conform with the local amenity of the neighbourhood,” Cr Smith said.
“The project was given the go-ahead at Monday’s Council meeting after the new plans were submitted changing the original two storeys to one.”
When completed the guesthouse is expected to provide accommodation for itinerant workers coming to the City and a stop-off point for backpackers.
An in-house manager will reside on the premises.
