New retail development for George St
Gosford Council has approved a two-storey commercial development with underground car park on George St, Woy Woy, next to Deepwater Plaza.
The first floor of the building will contain commercial floor space and the ground floor will comprise retail floor space and specialty shops to provide an active retail frontage to George St.
The proposed underground car park will contain 66 car spaces and the total development will have over 3000 square metres of floor space.
Vehicle access to both the car park and loading dock will be from George St.
The site comprises several allotments on the western side of George St, including the Hilton Ford and Challenge Electronics sites, and immediately adjoins the Deepwater Plaza shopping centre car park to the north and west.
The council allowed a variation to the minimum setback requirements and to maximum height requirements, because it considered the proposal satisfactory and consistent with the broader objectives of the Woy Woy town centre development control plan.
Strict compliance with the height requirement was considered by council to be unreasonable and unnecessary in the circumstances.
