Project details

Council is at the preliminary stage of considering an application to change the current planning controls for this land. This proposal to rezone would allow new development to occur.

Key features of the preliminary planning proposal on public exhibition

  • to rezone the western portion (adjacent to The Avenue) from R2 Low Density Residential to B4 Mixed Use
  • to create approximately 285 apartment dwellings
  • to apply ‘Area 1’ to the Height of Building Map for the land. This allows a 7m height bonus for residential flat top buildings and shop top housing developments under certain circumstances
  • to increase the maximum floor space ratio to 3:1 across the entire site (the eastern portion of the site adjacent to Cavill Ave currently has a floor space ratio control of 2:1
  • to implement a site specific exemption to Clause 4.3(2A) and Clause 4.3B(3) of the Ashfield LEP 2013 allowing for greater building height under certain circumstances

by amending the Ashfield Local Environmental Plan.
