Canberra developer Zapari opens public consultation on commercial accommodation, apartments at 10 Kennedy Street

The proposal for 10 Kennedy Street would include 54 commercial accommodation units spread across two levels, one at basement level and one on the ground.

The top three storeys would be made up of 59 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with the roof to feature a landscaped garden.

Two levels of basement parking would offer 154 car spaces for the building, with vehicle access via the rear lane off Eyre Street to minimise traffic impacts on Kennedy Steet.

The project would see the demolition of the current commercial buildings on the 2508-square-metre site in the Kingston Group Centre.

The developer has unveiled their plans as part of public consultation on the project, though the design concept is still being finalised, with two different facades put forward.

Offsite works would also provide more public car spaces and trees on Kennedy Street, the developer says, while the rear lane would also be retained as green space for the community.

The block is zoned as a business zone (CZ2) which permits the potential uses but also covers office and business accommodation.

Purdon planners on behalf of Zapari expect to submit a development application in March.
