DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION – PROPOSED WORKFORCE ACCOMODATION – LOT 101 CROSBY STREET, KATANNING

• The Lot 101 Crosby St is located on the western fringe of the Katanning townsite

• The accommodation facility comprises accommodation pods, communal facilities, landscaped areas and carparking and access areas
• An approximate 35m buffer is proposed between development and neighbouring private lots
• The colour palette proposed for buildings includes Shale Grey, Basalt, Surfmist and Monument
• The site is to be landscaped with continuous planting along the site edges to soften views from adjoining properties and the public realm
• Waste is to be managed by a dedicated bin storage area, with collection by a private waste contractor
• The facility is to be connected to the Western Power and Water Corporation utility infrastructure
• A construction management plan has been submitted to ensure compliance with industry standards, during the construction phase of the project
