The proposed tower overlooks Neddy Harper Park and sits a short distance from the $1 billion triple-tower Jewel complex which is expected to finally open in 2021 after years of delays.
It is the second major project planned for Cannes Ave in the past 18 months.
In mid-2019, developer Cannes Ave Pty Ltd put forward plans for a 15-storey tower on the street which would replace a series of 1960s-era houses.
That complex, planned for a 2339 sqm site on Cannes Ave, will have 96 units and 228 bedrooms, split between 60 two-bedroom and 36 three-bedroom apartments.
There will be a total of 119 carparks for residents with a further eight for visitors.
