The development site is surrounded by medium density housing and a blend of one and two-storey dwellings.

The first unit will have four bedrooms and a double garage; the second will have three bedrooms and a double garage; and the third three bedrooms and a single garage.

Rear garages will be built to adjoin an unnamed laneway.
