What we’re doing
The proposed changes include increasing the building height from 110m to around 180m and floor space ratio from 15.75:1 to 20.3:1 to support the redevelopment of the site.
This change to the floor space ratio will add an extra 16,400sqm of commercial floor space.
These changes will allow for:
- construction of a 42-storey commercial building with ground floor retail and office space
- creation of a pedestrian link connecting Kent Street with Sussex Street
- a shared loading dock for use by surrounding businesses and buildings
Why we’re doing this
This planning proposal is consistent with our Central Sydney planning strategy. The strategy recognises Central Sydney's role in metropolitan Sydney, NSW and Australia, and the need to maintain and grow its status as a global city.
It ensures development takes place in areas that can accommodate greater building height, protects Central Sydney's heritage and public places, encourages pedestrian connections and the use of public transport, and moves towards a more sustainable city.
