Project details

Council seeks feedback on the Planning Proposal to amend the Marrickville Local Environmental Plan (MLEP) 2011 for the site (known as the Cyprus Club) at 58-76 Stanmore Road, 2-20 Tupper Street and 1, 3-9 Alma Avenue, Stanmore.

The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) issued a Gateway Determination in June 2021 for the Planning Proposal to proceed to public exhibition. Council has been given delegation to exhibit the Planning Proposal as the Planning Proposal Authority but does not have the authority to make the plan.

Key features of the planning proposal

The Planning Proposal seeks to rezone the subject site and amend the maximum Floor Space Ratio (FSR) and Height of Building (HOB) to enable a mixed-use development comprising up to 120 dwellings and a minimum of 1500m2 floorspace for commercial/club uses.

Proposed changes to the MLEP 2011 include:

  • rezone parts of the site: Site A - B4 Mixed Use, Site B and Site C – R1 General Residential
  • amend the FSR controls: Site A and Site B - 1.75:1; and Site C - 1 :1
  • amend the HOB controls: Site A – 21m, Site B – 17m (western side), 21m (eastern side) and Site C -11m
  • amend the Key Sites map to identify the Cyprus club site
  • Introduce site-specific clause which requires:
  • B4 mixed-use zone to permit a residential flat building only if it includes a minimum of 1500m2 floorspace for a Registered Club and Commercial premises
  • new development to demonstrate that it will not significantly increase vehicular traffic in the area
  • preparation of a site-specific Development Control Plan to address detailed matters such as built form, landscaping, streetscape, amenity etc
