Public consultation period to
Get involved
Why we’re doing this
The proposed changes will enable the site’s redevelopment for a mixed-use development including residential, commercial and retail uses, while securing enhanced public spaces and streets, greater housing diversity and good sustainability outcomes.
What we’re doing
The proposed changes are to:
- increase the permitted height in some areas of the site and reduce it in others
- set building heights that range from 90m (25 storeys) to 3m (1 storey)
- introduce a range of different building types to provide more housing diversity, including family terraces
- provide more public spaces and streets
- support a good sustainability outcome, including a BASIX score of at least 5 points higher than current minimum requirements for energy and water
- secure no less than 4% of the gross floor area for non-residential uses
- guide the location of non-residential uses by identifying active street frontages.
The proposal doesn’t change the existing zoning or the amount of development (floor-space ratio) permitted on the site.
This consultation includes:
- Planning proposal to amend the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012. It contains the background, objectives, explanation and justification of the draft controls. Key changes are a revised height of buildings, which will set the heights across the site and a proposed active frontages map that will set the location of non-residential uses.
- Draft development control plan to amend the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012. This provides the framework for the changes to public spaces and streets on the site and supports the alternative height controls by guiding the bulk and scale of development and how the buildings present to the street.
- Draft planning agreement between the landowner, the developer and the City of Sydney which contains commitments for the developer to provide the following in connection with the revised planning controls:
- no less than 3,696sqm to be provided as non-residential floor area
- achieve a BASIX energy and water score at least 5 points above target
- design and construction of all future buildings to be capable of providing a dual reticulation water system
- install infrastructure to enable all residential parking spaces to be capable of being fitted with an EV charger.
