Background

The broad intent of the Planning Proposal is to achieve a vibrant, mixed-use precinct. The following amendments to the Burwood Local Environmental Plan 2012 (LEP 2012) are sought by the Planning Proposal.

  • Amending the Burwood LEP 2012 Zoning (including mapping) to change the zoning of the site to MU1 Mixed Use.
  • Including a new Burwood LEP 2012 Alternate Floor Space Ratio Map to change the maximum permissible floor space ratio (FSR) across the site to 3.4:1 (including a range of land uses)
  • Including a new Burwood LEP 2012 Alternate Height of Buildings Map to allow maximum building height from 8.5m to 72.5m (maximum 22 storeys) to allow for, and control, the delivery of proposed built form in line with the design principles for the site.
  • Inclusion of additional local provisions applying to the site, which required that community infrastructure is provided for any development that seeks to use the Alternate controls, including elements such as publicly accessible open space in quantum, and location relative to built form (approximately 2,700sqm) and community facilities (approximately 100sqm).
  • Identification as a Key Site and requirements for Design Excellence to be included in the Burwood LEP 2012.
  • Incorporation of site-specific provisions relating to the mix of land uses (FSR maximum and/or minimum) built form controls and requirements.
