BRONTE RSL is back on the market and the owner is preparing fresh development plans for the site to increase its “value”.

According to the sales brochure for the site, which has been listed with commercial real estate agent CBRE, the owner intends to “lodge a new DA ... for an additional seven units within the project” to “further enhance the value and residential net saleable area.”

The listing comes just six months after the latest plans for the site were approved by Waverley Council last December.

Council’s Development Assessment Panel voted in favour of the $14 million proposal pending changes to the final plan, including adjustments to basement parking and ensuring adequate sunlight to surrounding properties.

Those plans look likely to be cast aside, with the sales brochure saying while the approved DA complies with council’s current planning controls, the vendor “has received planning and legal advice that recommends a new DA”.

Save Bronte spokesman Stephen Lightfoot said attempts to lodge bigger plans for the site were unfair to residents who had spent years campaigning against an overdevelopment.

“It is unbelievable that a new DA has been prepared for the site. It is preposterous, after all the strategic planning and DA assessments that have gone on since 2012, that a new DA could be put for the site that seeks further variation on the controls,” he said.

“Save Bronte has said — backed up by the Department of Planning — the current controls for the RSL site are appropriate ... and any development on the site should be limited to a height of 13m and have an FSR of 1:1 or less and we agree.

“We are not asking for anything more than a development that obeys the rules. The Bronte RSL sub-branch and their chosen developer should get on with and build the thing as approved.”
