Elliott Tower was granted planning permission in October 2007 (with the subsequent building consents still outstanding), and would be located on the block bounded by Elliott, Victoria and Albert Streets, on an empty lot which is currently being occupied by a car park and a reverse bungy ride. The tower was originally proposed at 232 m (761 ft). However, a late 2007 Environment Court appeal had to be successfully resolved before the building could go forward.
Elliott Tower was authorized in October 2007 (with outstanding building permits still required), and it would be constructed on a vacant lot between Elliott, Victoria, and Albert Streets, currently occupied by a car park and an adventure ride. The initial proposal envisioned a tower of 232 m (761 ft). However, an environmental court appeal filed in late 2007 had to be successfully resolved before the project could commence.
