Proposed planning control changes for 757–763 George Street, Haymarket
Increasing the building height and floor space ratio to allow for redevelopment and adaptative use of the former Sutton Forest Meat heritage building.
Project Status: Closed
Council and the Central Sydney Planning Committee approved the planning proposal and an amendment to section 6 of the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 in March 2023.
What we’re doing
The proposed changes to the site will:
- allow for a new tower on the site, for possible hotel, retail and other business uses.
- support a high quality built form that includes greater retail frontages for improved, active and vibrant Haymarket and George Street pedestrianisation.
- adaptively reuse the former Sutton Forest Meat heritage building.
This planning proposal is consistent with the Central Sydney planning strategy, which allows increased building density and heights in suitable locations while protecting public spaces. These changes support productivity and economic growth in Central Sydney.
We also seek your comments on a draft planning agreement, which includes the advanced timing of monetary contributions for new infrastructure in Central Sydney and integrating public art into future development.
