Revised plans for Coles’ Mayfield East Village were lodged with council in October 2015, the fourth variation since the project was originally approved in 2010. If the traffic and parking amendments are approved in principle on Tuesday, the project will go before the development application committee on August 16.
The proposed amendments involve an upgrade of the Maitland Road/Havelock Street/Corona Street intersection, mandated by Roads and Maritime Services, involving the provision of right-turning lanes from Maitland Road.
The report said the upgrade would necessitate a number of changes to kerbside parking, including the loss of 15 one-hour parking spots on Maitland Road.
