Skyland Group is proud to announce that ELIZA Darling Point has received approval for a landmark Section 4.55 modification, marking a significant new chapter for one of Sydney’s most distinctive boutique luxury developments.
Approved by the Woollahra Local Planning Panel on 18 June 2026, the modification expands the previously approved five-residence scheme to six residences and introduces an additional upper level. The result is an exceptional six-storey approval where the applicable Low and Mid-Rise Housing planning standard contemplates four storeys.
The achievement is particularly significant because the approved design remains compliant with the maximum 17.5-metre building height and 1.5:1 floor space ratio, delivering approximately 1,187.7 square metres of approved gross floor area. Through careful architectural planning, the lower level sits substantially below the street while the uppermost level is recessed, allowing ELIZA to retain a refined four-storey presentation to Eastbourne Road.
Designed in collaboration with BMHP Group, the approved scheme comprises six generously proportioned residences with private outdoor spaces and pools, supported by 11 conventional basement car spaces. Its sculptural curved facade, expansive interiors, sweeping harbour outlooks and carefully considered material palette reflect Skyland Group’s commitment to creating residences with the scale and amenity of a private home.

“Securing this approval is an extraordinary milestone for ELIZA and for Skyland Group,” said Travis Su, Managing Partner of Skyland Group. “The outcome reflects years of design development, detailed planning and collaboration. To achieve six levels within a four-storey planning framework, while maintaining the project’s architectural integrity and a carefully composed street presence, is something of which our entire team is immensely proud.”

The approval follows ELIZA Darling Point being named Best Luxury Boutique Apartment Development (New South Wales) at the 2025 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Australia. The award recognised ELIZA’s architectural vision, design integrity and contribution to the evolution of boutique luxury living.

With its landmark planning approval now secured, ELIZA represents a rare convergence of architectural ambition, planning achievement and an irreplaceable Darling Point address. It stands as a defining expression of Skyland Group’s pursuit of thoughtful, enduring and highly individual residential development.
