Uniting Carlotta Avenue, Gordon

Uniting had previously lodged plans for a development comprising 160 independent living retirement apartments and a 90-place residential aged care home which was subsequently withdrawn, the updated proposal includes:
• 235 Independent Living Units, including 23 affordable housing units;
• A clubroom, gym, swimming pool and cinema;
• A 90-place residential aged care home, including consulting rooms and staff administration areas;
• A salon, café, and chapel;
• Basement car parking comprising approximately 328 carparking spaces.

With the development adjacent to the rail corridor, TfNSW were consulted at an early stage to help inform the architectural masterplans for an economical design. Criteria for discussion included easements for maintenance access, stormwater drainage, clearances to high voltage cables, finite element modelling and assessment for excavation impacts, vibration controls, rail impact assessments in accordance with AS5100 and associated risk assessments by specialist
third-party consultants.
