DRAFT TRRA position – closing 28 October, 2022.
The developer of the proposed 11 storey apartment building on Church St in Nelson Bay has declined Council’s invitation to re-design the building to comply with the height limit.
Instead, changes currently on exhibition offer only a modest height reduction of 1.39 metres (bringing the height exceedance down from 4.18m to 2.79m).
We maintain that the applicant has failed to justify why compliance with the height limit is ‘unreasonable or unnecessary’ which is the required test under Clause 4.6 of the LEP.
Submissions are due by 28 October – Go to Exhibition details/make a submission at

As a resident and owner of properties in the bay, I fully support the go ahead of this development. The building achieves a balance between attractive design while maintaining a height profile that does not detract from the surrounds. The town desperately needs development to go ahead and I believe this building sets the right tone.
I agree 100% with the Tomaree ratepayers and Residents association
regarding this proposed development in church street
The developer should be emphatically required to adhere to the height limit
There is a necessity for council keep all development to this requirement
What do they want , Surfs Paradise!
Surly the people of Port Stephens don’t want that .
All I can say is more power to the people on this .
Here’s hope common sense will prevail.
This DA still does not comply and as a result should be refused.
