A 60-year-old, two-storey brick and weatherboard home previously built on the block has been demolished and the land bulldozed.

The development will include three two-bedroom units, and two with one bedroom each.

The Musgrave St block the unit complex is proposed to be built is near the street’s intersection with Louisa St.

The self-contained building will have kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, outdoor entertainment areas and attached carports.

Blue Moon Properties has been approached for comment.

The application said the units would have a “contemporary architectural design” and be built with high-quality materials.
