The Randwick area is also important in the history of Australia’s European settlement. Captain James Cook landed at Botany Bay in April 1770. When the First Fleet arrived in 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip landed at Yarra Bay before moving on to Port Jackson. One week later an expedition led by the French explorer, La Perouse, arrived in Botany Bay and set up camp for six weeks in the area which now bears his name. White settlement was sparse in the area for many years, owing Aboriginal people have to the poor soil and swamps. However, in 1838 Coogee was lived on the land on which pronounced a township, and in 1855 the new village of Long Randwick City stands for Bay was established. In 1859 the Randwick Municipality was tens of thousands of years. proclaimed and the first council elections held making it one of the oldest local government areas in Australia. Randwick municipality grew rapidly after the tramline was built in 1880.

After each of the two World Wars Randwick municipality continued to grow rapidly until the 1970s, with population growth only returning to the levels of that time by the year 2000. Randwick was proclaimed a city in 1990 and is a highly desirable place to live, work, visit and study.

  • Comment on Proposed Amendment to State Environmental Planning Policy No
    Comment on Proposed amendment to State Environmental Planning Policy No. 70 – Affordable Housing (Revised Schemes) - statewide application and Draft Guidelines for Developing an Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme Shelter NSW submission December 2018 Shelter NSW is pleased to comment on the NSW Government’s Proposed amendment to State Environmental Planning Policy No. 70 – Affordable Housing (Revised Schemes) - statewide application and Draft Guidelines for Developing an Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme. About Shelter NSW Shelter NSW has been operating since 1975 as the State’s peak housing policy and advocacy body, with a vision of a secure home for all. We pursue this vision through critical engagement with policy and practice, and thought leadership. We provide systemic advocacy and advice on NSW policy and legislation to resolve housing inequality. About SEPP 70 SEPP 70 is a NSW planning instrument that identifies a need for affordable housing in specified local government areas – currently Canada Bay, City of Randwick, City of Ryde, City of Sydney, City of Willoughby, Inner West and Northern Beaches councils. Being included in SEPP 70 allows a council to require an affordable housing dedication (of land or dwellings) or contribution (of money) as part of the development approval process in specified precincts. This requires a scheme that is authorised and included in a council’s local environmental plan/s, which must be approved by the Department of Planning and Environment per the requirements set out in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act, at section 7.32). 1 Inclusion in SEPP 70 does not impose any positive obligation upon a council.
