Developers are planning on building a three-storey apartment block on one of Ocean Grove’s most central streets.
The existing weatherboard house at 123 The Parade is slated for demolition in favour of a $4.4 million complex that would contain nine apartments and a basement 14-space car park.
A planning application lodged with the City of Greater Geelong by UXD Group revealed the 815 square metre block would have four three-bedroom and five two-bedroom apartments.
It would also include a health studio and spa facilities.
“In its current state, the land is relatively flat and is currently occupied by a double-storey dwelling which is constructed from weatherboards and sheet roofing,” planning documents said.
“The housing profile is mixed and emerging along The Parade, with many recent knock-down, re-builds and medium density developments.
“Developments in more recent times along The Parade have evolved from side-by-side townhomes into lifestyle based apartments. This is evident at 100 The Parade, 78 The Terrace, 97 The Terrace and 108 The Terrace. Further to this, there are a number of prospective apartment applications undergoing assessment (such as 102 The Parade).
“No established trees or vegetation is in-effect of the proposed development.”
The public notification period ends on February 17.
