What we’re doing

Our proposed changes include increasing the maximum height to 44m and maximum floor space ratio to 10.2:1. This is an extra 14m in building height and 1,130 sqm of commercial floor space.

These changes will allow for 2 levels to be added to the existing 10-storey commercial building and support its adaptive reuse as high-end office space.

The proposal features upgrades to the street frontages, including a new retail space on Sophia Street. All on-site parking will be removed to encourage walking, cycling and public transport use.

Proposal

Next steps

All feedback will be reported to Council and the Central Sydney Planning Committee.

If Council approves the proposal, it can amend the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 on behalf of the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces.
