New motel project on display for community comment
21 December 2017
A proposal to build a new motel in Lords Place, on the site of the current Mid-City Motor Lodge, has gone on display for community comment.
The proposed development would mean the demolition of all existing buildings, structures and vegetation on the site at 245 Lords Place.
Following demolition, a new four storey building would be constructed for the purposes of hotel or motel accommodation.
The accommodation will comprise a total of 105 rooms for accommodation purposes (or 99 rooms under a dual key arrangement) across Levels 1, 2 and 3.
The project would also provide other support areas such as a lobby/lounge area, reception and coffee bar on the ground level; and restaurant, function room, lounge bar and terrace on Level 1.
A 97 space car park (or 112 car parking spaces under a valet arrangement during peak periods) would be provided in the under croft space below Level 1 and behind the reception/lobby area on the ground level. Access to the car park will be provided via a one-way circulation arrangement from Lords Place.
A one-way entry/exit will be provided to the porte-cochere at the front of the site, accessed from Lords Place also.
The applicant, as part of the application, is seeking a Clause 4.6 exception to the applicable Height of Buildings development standard.
The application may be inspected from links (below) on this page or at the Customer Service Counter, ground floor, Civic Centre - corner of Byng Street and Lords Place, Orange - during ordinary office hours, being 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday from Friday, 22 December 2017 to Monday, 15 January 2018.
During this period, any person may make written submission on this development proposal to Council.
