TPS managed the design competition for the redevelopment of the ‘Stamford on Macquarie’ Hotel in 2023. The brief asked competitors to design a high quality mixed-use commercial and residential development that connected public space and repurposed the adjacent heritage-listed Health Department building. Each design was well-considered, thoughtful, and embraced the heritage and context of Macquarie Street. BVN Architecture’s proposal was selected as the winning design by the Jury.
This high-quality development will enable the renewal of the state-heritage listed former NSW Health Building, and provide 68 new dwellings in the centre of Sydney, supported by ground-floor retail and commercial services, and a new through-connection link to Albert Street.
TPS also prepared and submitted the Detailed DA, along with a modification to the 2020 approved Concept DA and has managed the post-lodgement coordination with Council. The application was approved by the Central Sydney Planning Committee in June 2025.

TPS assisted with the approval of a high-quality, infill mixed-use development on Military Road, Neutral Bay. We worked with the design team, our client and Council to successfully obtain a Section 34 conciliation outcome through the NSW Land and Environment Court.
The final approval enables a 5-storey mixed use development providing 19 new apartments, communal roof space and 2 ground floor retail spaces.
The proposal demonstrates an excellent example of a responsive, well-designed building, providing residential uses in a highly accessible location, and retail uses that will contribute to the activation of the Neutral Bay village centre. The Planning Studio also prepared a Clause 4.6 Variation Request for building height, which highlighted that exceedance of height on this important corner site was in the public interest and “is compatible with future development as well as the scale, density and character of the area”.
