Rezoning proposal for the Central precinct
Transport for NSW has lodged an application with the Department of Planning and Environment to develop the area.
Project Status: Closed
What they’re doing
Transport for NSW is seeking to change the planning controls that currently apply to the Central precinct. As a State Significant Precinct, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment is managing the request to change the planning controls.
Transport for NSW has prepared a State Significant Precinct Study (planning report), an explanation of intended effect, design guide, and technical documents for assessment by the department. These documents are now on exhibition for public comment.
The Proposal seeks to deliver approximately 515,000 square metres of new floor space including:
- 12 new buildings ranging from 9 to 39 storeys in height
- 269,500 square metres of new commercial floor space
- 47,250 square metres of education/tech floor space
- 22,850 square metres of new retail space
- 76,100 square metres of hotel and student accommodation
- Around 850 new dwellings, with 15% earmarked for affordable housing and 15% earmarked for diverse housing
- Over 2 hectares of new publicly accessible open space
- a new network of streets and laneways with east-west walking links across railway lines.
The City of Sydney is preparing a response to the Central precinct rezoning proposal.
