CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 11 OCTOBER 2012
19 WONGA STREET, CAMPSIE; ALTERATIONS TO MIXED COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND
CONVERSION TO MULTIPLE UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONTAINING THREE DWELLINGS (CONT.)
Site Details
The subject site is located on the western side of Wonga Street, Campsie between Redman
Street and Evaline Street. It has a frontage to Wonga Street of 15.24 metres and a site area of
480.1 square metres. A two storey building exists on the site, comprising a ground floor retail
shop and first floor residence in the “shop top” style. The site is surrounded by residential
developments including residential flat buildings on both sides and single dwellings.
Proposal
The applicant is seeking permission to carry out alterations to the existing building and its
conversion into a residential flat building containing one x two bedroom and two x one
bedroom apartments. The existing retail shop will be removed as part of this proposed
conversion.
The proposed alterations relate to reconfiguration of the building internally, including
provision of kitchens, bathrooms, entrances and partition walls. The building will be
upgraded externally by replacing an existing sliding door on the Wonga Street façade with a
window and providing a sliding door to the northern elevation to allow access to the
landscaped open space area. The existing building will largely retain its existing envelope.
The building is to be cement rendered.
