Sydney Olympic Park is a 640 ha parcel of land 14km west of the Sydney CBD. It has a growing residential community and is home to multiple sporting and entertainment venues.
The application lodged by Ecove Group with the City of Parramatta council is for three buildings—a 45-storey tower comprising 464 serviced apartments, a 12-storey commercial office building which would connect via a pedestrian bridge to the apartment tower, and a five-storey pavilion.
The commercial building is aiming for a minimum 5-Star Green Star Rating.
“The proposal will contribute positive economic impacts through the investment directly and indirectly during both the construction and operation of the serviced apartment, commercial office, retail, and registered club,” the report said.
The development aims to reinvigorate the precinct and create a high-quality public domain, —the site is currently an at-grade carpark.
“The proposed development combines the demand for employment and retail uses and the significant need for serviced apartment accommodation to revitalise this underutilised site within Sydney Olympic Park,” the report said.
“[It will] contribute to the ongoing growth and development of the precinct as Sydney’s premier events and sporting precinct.”
According to Ethos Urban environmental impact statement, the proposed development would provide public benefit for people living and working in Sydney Olympic Park.
