The Greater Sydney Commission, NSW Department of Planning and Environment and other relevant State Government agencies were also consulted with as part of a series of technical working group meetings and other PLANNING workshops held throughout 2018 and 2019. CONTEXT Local strategic planning statements are a pivotal tool for local strategic planning in NSW, and will shape how a local environmental plan and development control plan evolve to reflect the Council and community’s vision for an area. A local environmental plan is the principal legal document prepared by Council for controlling development and guiding planning decisions, and includes land use zones, development standards and other provisions. A development control plan provides more detailed planning and design guidelines. Most proposed development in Mosman is assessed under the local environmental plan and development control plans through the development application process. Notwithstanding, under the NSW planning system the provisions of a local environmental plan and development control plan, and vision of a local strategic planning statement, may be overridden by a state environmental planning policy prepared by the NSW Government to deliver on State-wide principles. 8 Infrastructure and Collaboration Liveability Productivity Sustainability A city supported by Jobs and skills for A collaborative city A city for people Housing the city A city of great places A well connected city A city in its landscape An efficient city A resilient city infrastructure the city Direction 1 Direction 2 Direction 3 Direction 4 Direction 5 Direction 6 Direction 7 Direction 8 Direction 9 Direction 10 Infrastructure Working together to Celebrating diversity Giving people housing Designing places for Developing a more Creating the conditions Valuing green spaces and Using resources wisely Adapting to a changing supporting new grow a Greater Sydney and putting people at choices people accessible and walkable for a stronger economy landscape world developments the heart of planning city NSW Government Greater Government NSW Sydney Region Plan –Directions Region Sydney Planning Priority N1 Planning Priority N2 Planning Priority N3 Planning Priority N5 Planning Priority N6 Planning Priority N7 Planning Priority N11 Planning Priority N15 Planning Priority N21 Planning Priority N22 Planning for a Working through Providing services and Providing housing Creating and renewing Growing a stronger Retaining and managing Protecting and improving Reducing carbon Adapting to the impacts city supported by collaboration social infrastructure supply, choice and great places and local and more competitive industrial and urban the health and enjoyment emissions and managing of urban and natural infrastructure to meet people’s affordability with centres, and respecting Harbour CBD services land of Sydney Harbour and energy, water and waste hazards and climate changing needs access to jobs, services the District’s heritage the District’s waterways efficiently change and public transport Planning Priority N12 Planning Priority N13 Planning Priority N4 Delivering integrated Supporting growth of Planning Priority N16 Fostering healthy, land use and transport targeted industry sectors Protecting and enhancing creative, culturally rich planning and a 30-minute bushland and biodiversity and socially connected city communities Planning Priority N17 Planning Priority N14 Protecting and enhancing Leveraging inter-regional scenic and cultural transport connections landscapes Planning Priority N19 NSW Government Government NSW Increasing urban tree canopy cover and delivering Green Grid connections North District Plan – Applicable Planning Priorities North District Planning Priority N20 Delivering high quality open space Planning Priority 1 Planning Priority 2 Planning Priority 3 Planning Priority 5 Planning Priority 7 Planning Priority 9 Planning Priority 11 Planning Priority 12 Planning Priority 15 Planning Priority 16 Ensure that Work together with Provide a range of Provide diverse Enhance local and Improve access to, from Support the local Protect, conserve and Manage energy, water Adapt to and mitigate development is Government agencies facilities and services housing choices neighbourhood and within Mosman, economy and manage enhance Mosman’s urban and waste efficiently against the impacts of supported by and other stakeholders to meet community and opportunities centres as great, and encourage active visitation sustainably to tree canopy, landform, to ensure a sustainable natural and urban hazards infrastructure. to promote good needs, and foster a to meet changing connected places, transport. protect local amenity and waterways and bushland. urban

Background 1.1 Council profile The Ku-ring-gai Council Local Government Area (LGA) is located on Sydney's upper north shore, about 16km from the Sydney CBD. The LGA is predominantly residential, but contains significant areas of bushland, parkland, and waterways with often steep terrain. The LGA includes 1,100ha of council-managed bushland and 1,646ha of National Park Estate (Ku-ring-gai Chase, Lane Cove and Garigal National Parks) of which the dominant vegetation type is eucalypt forest. Development is concentrated along ridge-tops and medium density housing has arisen in areas near key transport infrastructure, such as the Pacific Highway and railway stations. Recent growth has occurred in areas in existing urban areas of Gordon, North Turramurra and Turramurra. Significant built infrastructure includes the north shore railway line, the University of Technology Sydney (Ku- ring-gai Campus), the CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics facilities, the National Measurement Laboratory and a number of community service facilities such as aged-care centres and hospitals. The LGA supports one critically-endangered and four endangered ecological communities which are ‘likely to suffer a loss of species if subject to repeated high frequency fires’ (Ku-ring-gai Council, 2006 in Ku-ring-gai Council, 2011a).

  • Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney

    Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney

    Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney THESIS PROJECT Planning and Urban Development Program The Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales Lauren Baroukh 3158821 - i - ABSTRACT Urban consolidation is the central housing policy guiding future residential development in the existing urban areas of Sydney. In accordance with the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy and subsequently elaborated in various Subregional Strategies, councils are required to achieve housing targets and accommodate higher density housing within their Local Government Areas. This thesis examines how councils are implementing these targets and achieving the urban consolidation objectives defined within strategic planning documents. It provides an analysis of council responses, primarily through the rezoning of land within revised Local Environmental Plans and local housing strategies. The thesis examines the factors which councils consider when selecting sites for higher density housing, such as proximity to town centres and public transport, the capacity of existing infrastructure and services, preserving the character of low density areas and determining appropriate building heights. The research indicates that councils are beginning to implement the housing targets and achieving many of the objectives suggested within the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy. In particular, the thesis identifies the issue of infrastructure provision as requiring further consideration by councils and state agencies. Higher density housing within existing urban areas needs to be appropriately located and planned in a way that responds to the unique characteristics of the locality. - ii - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks go to Christine Steinmetz for her valuable advice, guidance and support which is much appreciated. I would also like to thank the interviewees for their time and insights which have made a valuable contribution to this project.

  • Case Study: Northern Sydney Community Recyling Centre

    Case Study: Northern Sydney Community Recyling Centre

    Case Study: Northern Sydney community recyling centre COUNCIL NAME Overview Northern Sydney Regional Organisation Five councils in northern Sydney have partnered to establish a Community Recycling Centre of Councils (NSROC) (CRC) on commercial premises. No council had available operational land suitable to establish WEB ADDRESS a facility, so Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils arranged a lease of a suitable www.nsroc.com.au commercial premises. Working together has allowed resource sharing between councils, increased the efficiency of problem waste collection and helps to reduce the illegal dumping of problem wastes. Background Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy aims to manage problem wastes through establishing three CRCs in the region by 2021. Hornsby Shire Council is setting up a CRC at the northern end of the region. Another site was sought to cater for residents on the lower north shore. Artarmon was considered suitable as it is centrally located and the zoning permits waste facilities. Four councils were already supporting Chemical Clean Out events in conjunction with the EPA, and the events were increasing in popularity. The one council which no longer ran such events was regularly asked by residents to restore the service. The key objective of this project was to provide accessible and affordable problem waste disposal facilities for the region. Implementation A governance framework provided a transparent process which enabled the five partner councils and NSROC to work collectively to set the project objectives and oversee implementation. A Deed of Agreement was established to clarify each partner's responsibilities and roles. Signing the deed demonstrated each party's acceptance of its obligations and ensured that each partner could budget for its own resource contributions in the knowledge that the remaining funds were guaranteed.
