Following this, the proponents applied to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) for a Pre-Gateway Review and in February 2017 the Sydney Central Planning Panel recommended the existing planning proposal be submitted to the DP&E for Gateway Determination. In October 2017 DP&E approved the planning proposal at Gateway for this public exhibition.

Essential Details

  • Where did this planning proposal originate?
    The proponent (initiator) of the planning proposal is an independent party.
  • What is Council’s role in the planning proposal?
    Council is the Relevant Planning Authority (RPA). This means it is the body appointed to administrate the PP through the LEP making process. Council has not been 'delegated to make the plan' which means it is not the final decision making body. The DP&E (as delegate of the Greater Sydney Commission) has the final decision in this case.
