CONSULTATION HAS CONCLUDED.
Randwick City Council has developed a draft Comprehensive Planning Proposal (CPP) to update the Randwick Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012.
The Randwick CPP seeks to amend the Randwick LEP to align with the strategic direction and planning priorities of state, metropolitan and local strategies, as directed by the NSW Government.
What is a Local Environmental Plan (LEP)?
An LEP provides the framework for the way land can be developed and used; setting rules for building heights, zones, permissible land uses, building density and lot sizes.
Why are we changing the LEP?
LEPs need to be reviewed periodically to ensure they meet best planning practice and are aligned with community values and the directions of state plans, including the Greater Sydney Region Plan, Eastern City District Plan and Randwick Local Strategic Planning Statement 2040.
Council is under direction by the NSW Government to meet mandated housing targets. While Council objects to mandated housing targets, Council has responded by identifying areas where new growth can be accommodated in a sustainable and balanced way.
What are the proposed changes?
In summary the Comprehensive Planning Proposal proposes the following:
Learn more:
Housing Investigation Areas: Five new Housing Investigation Areas (HIAs) are proposed in North Kensington, Randwick and Kingsford South where new planning controls, including changes to zoning, height and density will help us meet our housing targets.
Dual Occupancy in R2 low density residential zones: Changes to controls for the construction and subdivision of attached dual occupancies in the R2 Low Density Residential zone.
Economic Development: Supporting a diverse, safe and inclusive night time economy through changes to zone objectives and new exempt development provisions. New planning controls including changes to zoning and density of 20 neighbourhood clusters zoned residential to protect local small-scale retail. Updating land zoning and development control maps to reflect the Randwick Hospital Expansion area and the Randwick Racecourse (Light Rail Stabling Yard)
Employment Land Zones Reform: New employment zones to replace existing B1 Neighbourhood Centre, B2 Local Centre and IN1 Light Industrial zones to align with State government reforms.
Royal Randwick Shopping Centre: 16, 17 and 18 June, 11am to 2pm each day.
Kensington Park Community Centre: 23 June 2.30pm to 4.30pm and 9 July 1pm to 3pm.
Pacific Square Shopping Centre: 28, 29 and 30 June, 11am to 2pm each day.
