I support this application.
It converts level 1 commercial floor space into 12 affordable homes, all managed by St George Community Housing and kept affordable for 25 years with an option for a further 25. SGCH already runs the 21 apartments above, so this is a proven arrangement in a building 500 metres from Newtown station. The ground floor tenancies and the active street frontage stay.
This is exactly where affordable housing should go.
