Time & Place Launches Appeal over Potts Point Tower

Potts Point EDM

Time & Place is on its way to court over its planned eight-storey Potts Point project. 

The developer has renotified amended plans with the City of Sydney Council as part of the Statement of Facts and Contentions (SoFC) process, prior to its case being heard at the Land and Environment Court (LEC). 

The original plans proposed a shoptop residential development of 28 apartments at 45-53 Macleay Street over nine storeys, and were lodged in October 2022.

It was intended to replace an existing ‘ugly duckling’ building, a mid-20th-century, 12-storey apartment tower of 80 apartments.

Time & Place’s plans comprised a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments across levels one to eight sitting above a ground-floor communal area with pool in a central courtyard and a 250sq m retail tenancy along the site’s Macleay Street frontage.

However, it faced criticism from local stakeholders and the consent authority.

Time & Place responded to these by reducing the podium by a level after the authority said the concept envelope had “excessive height, bulk and scale”. 

Further amendments looked more closely at the heritage impact, which was said to have previously “failed to adequately assess the contribution of the existing building to the significance of the Potts Point [Heritage Conservation Area]”. 

The response to the SoFC by the consent authority proposes amendments to its setback to ensure that the retail frontage of the project aligns with the main building envelope and facades adjusted to suit revised layouts. 

The next step will be to consider if the case is suitable for conciliation and if expert evidence is required, and then subsequently the case will be heard by the LEC.

Time & Place is not alone in experiencing difficulties developing Potts Point. 

Third.i and Toohey Miller secured a win last year after heading to court over their Brougham Street boutique apartment project.
