A group of Belmont residents have banded together in objection to a proposed apartment block in their community that will be 69 per cent taller than the building height limit.
Plans have been lodged with Lake Macquarie council by Barr Planning for 35 Latitude to construct the 34-unit block with three commercial spaces at 1 Walter Street and 36 Macquarie Street, Belmont. The proposal, set next to parkland on the lake, will be nine storeys with a rooftop courtyard and three levels of basement car parking.
