What will happen when the workforce housing is no longer needed? Is the City responsible to restore the site to its original state?

No, the City will not be responsible to restore the site to its original state. In accordance with Section 496 of the Local Government Act, as a condition of approval, the applicant is required to provide a security to the City for the duration of the development to ensure that appropriate restoration of the lands occurs when the development ceases. In addition, the applicant is required to sign and undertake that they will ensure the removal of the accommodation and parking structures and restore the lands to the original state no later than the expiry of the permit. The City takes a security deposit to cover these removal costs should they not be removed.
