FORMER SUPERMARKET: A plan of the south-west side of the proposed building
showing it up to 3.67m higher than allowed. Below – properties neighbouring the site
marked in yellow.
Hearing set for October
• From page 1
It plans to construct two new
floors of apartments on top.
There is also provision for a
retail shop or food outlet on the
Augusta St corner.
A spokesperson for Fletcher
Living said until the planning
approval process is completed it
can’t confirm when work on the
project might start.
There may be time pressure
because the city council’s Plan
Change 14, scheduled to be
introduced early next year,
designates much of Redcliffs
at risk from flooding, erosion
and tsunamis, and that might
prohibit any future residential
development on the site.
Said city council head of
planning and consents, John
Higgins: “It is difficult to say how
PC14 provisions would impact on
the assessment and consideration
of the application.”
The supermarket was a $20m
rebuild after the February
22, 2011 earthquake. It was
converted to a Four Square in
2020 but closed less than a year
after that.
The vacant property was then
purchased by Fletcher Residential
for $5.5m.
The planning hearing to
consider the consent application
is scheduled for October with the
commissioner’s decision likely by
November.
The city council’s Plan Change
14 is not expected to be approved
until March next year at the
earliest.
