Overview

The major project proposes use and development for a hotel at Kangaroo Bay on the eastern shore of the River Derwent.

It comprises 155 hotel rooms and about 1000m2 of meeting spaces in a multistorey building and provides landscaped foreshore public open space and off-street parking.

This is the second stage of the major project assessment process under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act). The Major Project Impact Statement (MPIS) prepared by the proponent is referred to relevant regulators and assessed by the Development Assessment Panel (the Panel) against the assessment criteria. The Panel publicly exhibits the proposal and MPIS and invites comment. The Panel then decides whether to grant a major project permit.

You can view the first stage of this major project assessment process on our website.
