Revised plans lodged for Palais Coolangatta
Developer BeckDev has made significant design concessions to its proposed Palais Coolangatta development, the most obvious being a large reduction in height and scale.
The group, led by founders Ben and Max Beck, lodged the revised plans with the council this week.
Responding to the latest councils request to reduce the building even further in height, BeckDev further concedes lowering the height of the project to 17 storeys from the 22 storeys originally proposed and the subsequent revised 20-storey design that sat comfortably within the skyline and in close proximity of an existing 24-storey building.

They've submitted a minor change application to the Peerless Avenue development to drop the number of apartments from 109 to 98.
