About the Planning Proposal

This Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Canada Bay Local Environmental Plan 2013 (the LEP) to facilitate a mixed-use development at 1 King Street, Concord West by:

  • Rezoning the land from E4 General Industrial to R4 High Density Residential
  • Increasing the maximum height of buildings from 8.5m to heights ranging from 20m to 42m
  • Increasing the floor space ratio (FSR) from 1:1 to 2.46:1, 2.75:1, and 3.09:1
  • Requiring that any future redevelopment of the site provides between 3,500sqm to 5,000sqm of non-residential gross floor area (GFA)
  • Identifying the site as part of the ‘Homebush North Precinct’ on the Key Sites Map and applying additional local provisions including a floor space bonus for building sustainability, design measures to reduce the urban heat island effect, and a maximum number of car parking spaces (all detailed under Part 8 of the LEP) to facilitate development at the site
  • Requiring new buildings on parts of the site to include uses on the ground floor that attract pedestrians, such as shops, restaurants, and gyms
  • Requiring future development on the site to exhibit design excellence in accordance with Clause 6.14 of the LEP
  • Identifying land on the north-eastern corner of George Street and Pomeroy Street (part of 19-21 George Street, North Strathfield) for acquisition by Council for the purposes of a local road

The proposal is also accompanied by a draft Development Control Plan for the site to help guide future development.
