In a move that prioritises quality of life over increased density, a Cannon Hill apartment project is adding a suite of luxury rooftop amenities, including a pool and wellness centre, without adding a single new dwelling or increasing its approved height.
A New Focus on Resident Wellbeing
The proposed changes for the five-storey building at 2–10 Andrews Street centre on creating a better living experience for its future community. The developer has submitted a minor change application that dramatically enhances the building’s communal spaces.
The most significant update is a complete redesign of the rooftop area, which will now feature a swimming pool and deck, a sauna, plunge pools, and barbecue areas surrounded by landscaped gardens. This expanded recreational space, growing from 272 to 337 square metres, is designed to provide a high-quality, resort-style environment right at home.
Smarter Design, Same Footprint
While the lifestyle features are getting a major boost, the project’s overall scale remains unchanged, ensuring it continues to fit within the local area. The building, designed by Prospect Architecture, will still contain the originally approved 44 apartments. The updated plans focus on internal and design refinements rather than expansion.
These improvements include a more efficient car parking layout, with ground-level parking now enclosed, a redesigned pedestrian entry and lobby, and extended balconies for several apartments on the second floor. A few individual apartment layouts have also been updated to improve their functionality.
A Positive Change for the Community
The project’s planners, DTS, have noted that the changes are minor and maintain the development’s approved scale and intent. In their assessment, they stated that the enhancements to the rooftop and landscaping will deliver significant benefits to future residents.
Crucially, they concluded that these improvements would be achieved without causing any negative impacts on the surrounding properties, framing the proposal as a positive adjustment for the neighbourhood.
