The RSL facility provides long-term accommodation to veterans who need subsidised, independent housing.
Documents state the new units will be “highly liveable, versatile and adaptable by nature of the clientele they are designed to support”.
“The proposal will not result in any significant impact on the surrounding area, instead providing for a positive, attractive, functional development which will satisfy future resident needs,” the planning report reads.
It is now under assessment by council officers.
