en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 23rd, The revised plan for the mixed-use development at 93-107 Cecil Avenue and 9-10 Roger Avenue in Sydney's Castle Hill has recently entered the public exhibition phase, which will last until April 1. This mixed-use project is backed by private lender Gemi Investments, with Alton Property Group serving as the development manager. The project investment is approximately $419 million. The site spans 1.76 hectares across 18 lots and is located about 650 meters from Castle Hill Metro Station.

Designed by A+ Design Group, the revised plan for this mixed-use project retains the overall layout of four buildings but increases the building heights from 5-25 storeys to 23-35 storeys, while adjusting the number of apartments from 615 to 610. Meanwhile, affordable housing units have been reduced from 169 to 117, commercial floor area has been cut from 8,025 square meters to 3,789 square meters, and parking spaces have been decreased from 979 to 793. The project plan includes demolition, early works, and staged construction, and features a public pedestrian walkway connecting Cecil Avenue and Roger Avenue.

The rezoning of this mixed-use development site was finalized in July 2020, paving the way for higher-density development. The previous planning controls set a cap of 460 apartments and a requirement for at least 8,025 square meters of commercial floor space. An earlier proposal leveraged the state's affordable housing bonus provisions, planning to provide at least 15% affordable housing managed by a community housing provider. The revised plan has adjusted several key metrics and is currently open for public feedback.
