The Central Planning Authority has refused planning permission for a $118.5 million redevelopment project for Barkers Beach Resort.
In a decision announced by the CPA on 30 Sept., following a hearing the previous day, the CPA turned down the application from Coe Group Ltd., who had applied to construct a hotel with restaurant, pool and cabanas in place of the existing development at the site.
The 361 Conch Point Road property is currently occupied by a two-storey apartment building of six one-bedroom properties.
According to the developers’ application, listed on the CPA’s agenda, renovations were proposed to the existing building “adding three storeys above the existing two storey building and building two completely new buildings”.
The developer’s application clarified the project is named Barkers Beach “as the beach leads to Barkers National Park. As a matter of clarity we are not located in Barkers National Park”.
