Development consent has been granted in the Land and Environment Court for a childcare centre in East Gosford, opposite Gosford Fire Station and the adjacent carpark to the Elanora Hotel.
The court made the decision on July 16, after a series of conciliation conferences with the applicant Access Strata Pty Ltd and Central Coast Council.
The two parties agreed that the location was acceptable, as it was “sufficiently distant from the Elanora Hotel and the Amended DA proposes satisfactory acoustic treatments to address noise from the Gosford Fire Station,” the court judgement states.
The proposal will see the demolition of existing structure, the amalgamation of two land parcels, removal of some trees and the construction of a single storey 85 place child care centre with basement level parking at 11-13 Brougham St, East Gosford.
Amended plans and documents were filed on 5 July.
The original DA was lodged with Council on 8 November 8 last year.
On February 21 this year the applicant commenced proceedings in court citing a deemed refusal, meaning the Council had not made a decision within a set time period.
The Elanora Hotel also has an amended development application currently with Council.
