UDIA NSW makes this submission into the Draft Central Sydney Planning Strategy. Many of our members have made direct submissions in relation to the strategy, and this submission aims to synthesise the key issues within the Central Sydney Planning Strategy and highlight the broad concerns that our members have with the Strategy.
The Strategy has been developed over a number of years and contains a lot of detail, which has been consulted on previously. In this submission we focus on the key areas of impact:
1. Removal of existing residential accommodation floor space bonus
2. Tower cluster areas to achieve 50% floor space bonus and additional height
3. New development contributions plan
4. Omission of saving provisions
5. Additional procedural requirements related to Heritage items
6. Reduced height to street frontage and increased setbacks
