What we’re doing  

We invite your feedback on proposed changes to the planning controls for 15–25 Hunter and 105–107 Pitt streets, Sydney.

The proposed changes will allow for a new commercial tower on the site, while protecting sun access to Martin Place and identifying a potential heritage item. Possible uses of the new tower include offices, retail and other business uses. The changes will also improve public spaces and connections for people walking.

This planning proposal will amend the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and 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.

The draft development control plan provides further controls to guide development on the site, and will be consistent with the planning proposal amendments.

The draft planning agreement includes the timing for payment of monetary contributions for new infrastructure in Central Sydney, providing a publicly accessible through-site link, and environmentally sustainable development targets.
