Meridien has secured approval for its 52 apartment complex at Airlie Beach.

It came after an approval recommendation from council officers for the proposed three and four-storey buildings, designed by Fender Katsalidis.

Whitsunday Regional Council granted  approval for the vacant lot on Port Drive to build three apartment blocks.

The plans for a residential and short-stay apartment development at 26-32 Port Drive includes one, two and three-bedroom layouts.

Mayor Andrew Willcox voted in favour of the development.

The council report noted its proposed height was lower there than existing buildings at the Port of Airlie.

The Balmain Group secured permission last year for a 12 storey hotel at 24 Coconut Grove, Airlie Beach.
