We’re proposing to amend the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 to meet the requirements of the NSW Government’s Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy. We’ll also introduce the draft Ultimo Pyrmont local infrastructure contributions plan 2023.
The NSW Government’s Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy requires changes to our planning controls to accommodate 4,000 more homes for more than 8,000 future residents, and capacity for 23,000 jobs as the area’s population grows.
Since May 2022 we’ve worked with our communities to review the existing planning controls and to develop changes to meet the requirements. We held 4 community workshops, hosted 2 online activities, sent letters and met with residents, landowners and community groups.
The feedback we received influenced our urban design principles, draft planning controls and the preparation of a local infrastructure contributions plan. More details can be found in the Council report.
Our response to the place strategy meets the NSW Government’s objectives while ensuring good design, community input and alignment with infrastructure.
The proposed planning controls respond to the place strategy by:
Supported by a new local infrastructure contributions plan, the new planning controls align growth with new and improved local infrastructure and an updated affordable housing program.
This set of maps explains the selection process we followed when deciding which sites to consider in our study.
Consultation closes at 5pm on Wednesday 13 November 2024.
