The proposed development, designed by Verve Building Design, aims to revitalise the site at 830-832 Sandgate Rd and 139 Junction Rd. The plans call for the demolition of the existing single-storey commercial building fronting Sandgate Road to make way for the new complex.
The development is set to retain and repurpose an existing building, dubbed Building A, which will offer 835 square metres of gross floor area. This space will be divided among various uses, including 291 sqm for medical and healthcare services, 51 sqm for office space, 79 sqm for a food and drink outlet, and 414 sqm dedicated to five two-bedroom residential units.
A new structure, Building B, will house the primary food and drink outlet, spanning 248 sqm, complemented by a 50sqm alfresco dining area. The development also includes provisions for ample parking, with 46 car spaces, five motorcycle bays, and a dedicated ambulance space. The drive-thru facility will accommodate up to 10 vehicles.
In a nod to environmental considerations, the plans incorporate 508 sqm of landscaping, resulting in a total site coverage of 27.4%. Additionally, 214 sqm will be dedicated to road improvements.
A key feature of the development application is a new slip lane and vehicle entrance from Sandgate Rd, providing access to basement parking, a loading area, and ground-floor parking spaces. The existing Junction Rd vehicle access will be retained, while new pedestrian access and the drive-thru will be situated along Sandgate Rd and at the intersection corner.
