This is still above the height limit but they belive it will be enough to get approved. He said ACC should have the revised proposal now and they still hope to have demolision commencing in October with completion March 2009 assuming this revised proposal is approved.

retail tenancies, ancillary car parking and other facilities at 131-147 Pirie and 42-56

REFUSED for the following reasons:-
• The proposed development exceeds the height desirable for the Policy area to
enclose Hindmarsh Square.
• The proposed development does not provide the desired transition in height
between the Central Activities Zone and the Mixed Use Zone.

The motion was then put and carried.
