36-44 Doonside Street, Richmond
In February 2012, Council issued a notice of decision to approve a permit for redevelopment of the site at 36-44 Doonside Street and 27-41 Appleton Street, Richmond.
Council's Internal Development Approvals Committee (IDAC) resolved to issue a permit for a development involving three residential buildings of six, nine and 12 storeys.
