Plans to build a vertical seniors village in Epping have been approved by the Sydney City Planning panel.

The Uniting Church is behind the newly-approved 16-story tower project.

Original plans were scaled back for the AUD$100 million (US$70.2 million) development in northwest Sydney following community concern over the project’s height.

Uniting Church had originally submitted plans for a 19-story tower in September 2018, but withdrew its application for the 43-53 Oxford Street site.

The new and approved project will comprise 96 independent seniors living units, a 60-bed residential aged care facility, 20 care apartments and 14 assisted living apartments.

The Turner-designed tower will also comprise 155 car parking spaces across four basement levels.
