Katoomba Charrette Report & Town Centre Strategy Plan of Proposed Beverly Lane Supermarket Development, on Several Properties to be Assembled The plan above shows an arcade access from Katoomba Street, with new specialty shops or other businesses on either side, opening into a 3200-3500 square metre supermarket. The Lurline Street frontage is lined with a three-storey single aspect apartment development, enjoying distant views to the east and down across that side of Town, with an active street frontage of possibly home offices at the Lurline Street level (see plans and building section below). Crucial truck deliveries for the supermarket use Beverly lane for access via Waratah Street, where the trucks would drive in forward, then back into the loading docks as shown, and then drive out forwards. The design shows proper truck turning clearances and loading dock dimensions, appropriate for such operations. The unloading of trucks would be internalised within the side boundary walls of the development, to minimise noise impacts on neighbours. Internalising the deliveries and disposals for this design is in stark contrast to the intrusive Coles counterpart abutting the corner of Waratah and Parke Streets. Site and Building Section for the Beverly Lane Supermarket and Live/Work Development 116
Katoomba Charrette Report & Town Centre Strategy Sketch of Beverly Lane Live/Work Apartments fronting Lurline Street next to a potential family restaurant in the existing historic Church. As shown above in the site and building section above, the site slopes down to the east for a grade change of about 6 metres from its Katoomba Street frontage to Lurline Street. Clever use of this cross grade will permit the construction of a large retail/mixed-use development which is still compatible with and respectful of its neighbours. Access to Katoomba Street is proposed to be via a new arcade on a redeveloped single storey government building site. It would present as two storeys to Katoomba Street, with the supermarket arcade access at street level with office and/or residential uses upstairs, and with a potential additional very attractive third residential floor set back from Katoomba Street with spectacular views looking east across the valley to the distant ridges. Car parking of about 200-250 spaces is provided below the supermarket level. The plan also provides for three entry and three exit lanes to the car park (sufficient for the efficient movement of vehicles at peak times) separate to the main loading dock. Rear loading access is provided to all other adjoining properties on Katoomba and Waratah Streets, and secure private car parking for the Live/Work Terraces fronting Lurline Street is to be provided in the lower car parking level of the supermarket. Fits the Project Design and Location Brief This Beverly Lane supermarket and live-work development is an ideal example of how to comply with the above Project Design and Location Brief. The development is in the right place to support the Town Centre. In contrast to the present Coles supermarket and Pioneer Square, all public streets are greeted by active frontages and not blank walls, and all the car parking is discretely tucked into the development, taking advantage of the sloping site. 117
