An application to establish Jan Juc’s first supermarket is before the Surf Coast Shire.
Developers say they want to build a ’boutique supermarket’ akin to a small IGA or similar on a Princes Terrace block in the town’s only commercial centre.
The multi-story development would also include a bottle shop and six residences.
The modified plans before council originally had another level, but now feature a basement, ground and first floor, topped of with a roof level, with an overall height of 10.79 metres.
Planning consultants for the proponents say the development by The Beach Hotel has a floor area of around 850sqm, and “an overall architectural design that strikes the right balance between utilising the commercial-zoned land while respecting the coastal context of the site.”
The plans before the shire are currently out for public comment.
