Go-ahead for Kent Town heritage pub apartment towers

InDaily have published an article about a high-rise development of nearly 200 apartments in twin tower blocks of 14 and 15 storeys is set to be built behind a closed state heritage listed hotel in Kent Town, after the project was approved by the state’s planning panel.

This “bonus” height incentive in the state’s planning code has previously been criticised by Norwood Payneham and St Peters Council, which claims the provision leads to “ad hoc” developments that “[exceed] Code parameters in a non-strategic and non-transparent way”.
