Your say on updates to planning controls related to greening, amenity, parking and design excellence

What we’re doing

We invite your feedback on proposed changes to our planning controls that support our strategic objectives of greening, amenity, parking, design excellence and Central Sydney development. The changes include some minor amendments to improve planning controls.

Why we’re doing this

We’ve prepared a series of changes to our land use planning framework in line with our 20-year vision, City Plan 2036. These amendments will ensure our planning controls are up to date and reflect current planning strategies.

Regular reviews help ensure our planning framework operates as intended and continues to achieve consistent and positive outcomes for our communities.

A summary of each amendment is included below, grouped into categories that align with our strategic priorities. Click on each category for a list and more information about each amendment.

Next steps

After public comment, we’ll consider all feedback and report the results to Council and the Central Sydney Planning Committee.

If Council approves this planning proposal after public consultation, we’ll forward it to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to finalise and bring the new planning controls into effect.

How you can give feedback

Consultation closes at 5pm on Friday 14 March 2025.
