_New Childcare Coming to Bayswater

Collie recently worked with Knowledge Group to obtain town planning approval for a 156-place childcare centre in Bayswater.

The development is situated within the Bayswater Major Activity Centre at the corner of Mountain Highway and Birch Street and will integrate well with and be supported by the surrounding residential, commercial and transport services. 

Collie prepared the town planning report and collated the planning permit application package for submission to Knox City Council (Council).  Furthermore, Collie worked closely with the project team through the request for further information process including advising on variation to the design to increase the likelihood of Council approval. 

Given the location of the site along Mountain Highway, Council was seeking a built form setback further from this interface.  In response to the concern raised by Council, we pointed out that a reduced setback was permissible under the Design and Development Overlay and through providing additional landscaping, we were able to obtain Council support. 

Collie looks forward to the completion of the project and its contribution to the Bayswater community.
