There seem to be several changes to the project, compared to the DP that was approved in 2024. The density has gone from 3.78 to 6.5, and there are 4 more floors.

It appears that the City referred to social housing in the DP, although the mayor said it was going to be supportive housing when he announced in May last year the City wouldn't be pursuing the original modular building.

Obviously his 'no new supportive housing ' policy still applies for now, so this can be social housing, and it will be interesting to see who steps forward to develop it, who manages it, and what the mix of units and rents will be.

It's a stroke of genius to limit the social services and social housing to be for veterans. How are those opposed to the project going to justify being against housing and services for veterans?
