University of NSW Paddington Campus – College of Fine Arts (COFA)

Planning Controls for the College of Fine Arts (COFA) were unanimously passed at the Council meeting on 10 April 2006.  The planning controls will be implemented through an amendment to the South Sydney DCP and be known formally as the 'City of Sydney Draft Amendment to South Sydney Development Control Plan 1997 Urban Design, Part G – Special Precincts – University of New South Wales Paddington Campus (Greens Road Paddington).'

The controls are the result of the master planning process which was initiated in 2004 in conjunction with the Council and the local community.  Three community workshops were held with the final meeting on Monday 13 February 2006 to discuss the draft controls and to allow the community the opportunity to speak with both Council Planning staff and the University’s planning consultants.  Minor changes were made to the controls in response to comments made during this meeting, as well as those representations made at the Planning Development and Transport Committee on 3 April 2006.

Summary of the DCP Amendment

The DCP amendment sets perimeter building envelopes ranging from 1 – 5 storeys in height with a central courtyard with the main vehicle access to the site from Greens Road, and orientation for pedestrians towards Oxford Street.

The amendment is not related to any specific construction projects but is a policy document to articulate the future development of the site. It provides a basis for the University’s detailed space planning, and provides certainty to Council and the local community as to the desired future development of the site.  Any construction will first require a development application (DA) to be made and considered by the City.  Such a DA would be assessed against the DCP amendment discussed above.

The DCP as endorsed by Council is available for download below.
