Coogee Village: 12m and no more
PLEASE NOTE: As of March 2023 amended plans have been submitted and there is now a consultation proces. Information will be posted to assist with submissions after Easter. In the meanwhile keep in touch by Facebook - Coogee Bay Hotel 12M and no more.
This web site has been created as a resource for the community to help protect and ensure the ongoing application of the 12 metre height limit for Coogee Village.
​
The campaign 12m and no more is a response to a Development Application lodged by Cotton Development Management Pty Ltd. DA 437/2021 proposes an “integrated development for demolition of buildings, works to the Coogee Bay Hotel, construction of a 6 storey shoptop housing development comprising business premises with supermarket, public laneway, basement parking, 60 residential units, subdivision, landscaping and associated works."
The proposed development has evinced a groundswell of opposition from the local community and others who love Coogee for its low-scale friendly look and feel. Coogee is known and loved by many for the beauty of the small bay and natural headlands and its village atmosphere.
Coogee was proclaimed a village in 1838. Coogee has proudly owned that description ever since and its
village atmosphere is celebrated by residents, visitors and local business alike. In 2009, Keep Coogee a Village, was the name of the community campaign against proposals for high rise on the same site. We honour that slogan with this web site.
​
The DA will be assessed by the state government Eastern Sydney City Planning Panel after an initial assessment by Randwick City Council.
