Another housing estate is proposed for Bowden, in Adelaide’s hip inner west.
West Bowden Developments has lodged plans with the State Planning Commission for 43 two and three-storey townhouses, and 16 apartments, on a 7500sqm block at 78 Gibson Street.
A local heritage-listed former shop and home will be incorporated into the development, partially restored and turned into a cafe.
Some of the building would need to be demolished due to its condition, according to the development’s application.
Ekistics Planning and Design’s report states that the plan – which proposes buildings up to five storeys tall – “represents appropriate and orderly development”.
“The diversity in accommodation types and housing options will cater for differing needs and price points within the housing market,” it says.
Consultation on the $16m proposal – which supersedes an earlier 12-storey design – closes on April 19.
West Bowden Developments is registered to Sydney-based director Hamidoula Popal.
The Bowden redevelopment began in 2008 and is the State Government’s first infill project.
