• Up to 71 residential dwellings per building (previously 55 dwellings per building)
• A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 4.0 (previously 2.45)
• Facade ‘stepbacks’ for 5th and 6th storeys to reduce perceived mass of a 6-storey building
• Community Amenity Contribution in the form of a public plaza between the new buildings
• Provisions for family-oriented dwellings

The application also includes proposed road (lane) closures and an amendment to the McKernan-Belgravia Station Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP).
