QUESTIONS By Mr Omar Jamal:- “My questions would are concerning item 8.2 on the meeting Agenda (DA 423/2011). Question 1 Why shouldn't this application be approved subject to

conditions? Question 2 Why the applicant wasn't asked to submit amended

plans? Question 3 As the majority of dwellings in the area are owned by

the Department of Housing, what does the Council envisage the character of the area would be?

Question 4 Does this DA comply with the Infill Affordable Housing

SEPP 2009 or does it not? The bottom line is while there is a chronic shortage in the private rental market for houses, Council is still occupied with technicalities that are of no relevance to the future planning or the future projections for certain areas of the Parramatta Municipality.”

12797 RESPONSE By Ms Louise Kerr – Manager Development Services:- “Question 1: The development application has been recommended

for refusal. The recommendation has been made

- 3 -

following an assessment of the application by a town planning officer. The development application has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Affordable Rental Housing SEPP and it is the professional opinion of the town planning officer that the proposed development does not comply with a number of the development controls of the AHSEPP, with particular reference being made to clauses 15 and 16 (design requirements and character of local area)

A detailed discussion of the issues related to the development application and the recommended reasons for refusal are identified in the section 79C assessment report which is listed on the business paper.

The development application has been recommended for refusal. The recommendation has been made following an assessment of the application by a town planning officer. The development application has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Affordable Rental Housing SEPP and it is the professional opinion of the town planning officer that the proposed development does not comply with a number of the development controls of the AHSEPP, with particular reference being made to clauses 15 and 16 (design requirements and character of local area)

A detailed discussion of the issues related to the development application and the recommended reasons for refusal are identified in the section 79C assessment report which is listed on the business paper.

Question 2: Within 6 days of lodgement of the development

application the applicant was requested to submit additional information. The additional information was submitted to Council on 18 July 2011 and has been considered in the assessment of the application.

A number of the issues that have been given determinative weighting in the assessment of the application (ie character of local area) could not be resolved by the submission of amended plans. For this reason a request for amended plans was not made.

Question 3: The character of an area is not determined by who

owns the land. Parramatta City Council has made a policy decision to zone the subject site R2 Low Density Residential in Parramatta LEP 2011. One of

- 4 -

the objectives of the R2 Low Density zone is:

To provide for the housing needs of the community within a low density residential environment.

A low density residential environment is thus the character which is envisaged by Parramatta City Council for the site and the immediate locality.

Question 4: The report which has been prepared for this

application concludes that the development application does not comply with a number of the development controls of the AHSEPP, with particular reference being made to clauses 15 and 16 (design requirements and character of local area).”

QUESTIONS By Mr Adam Byrnes:- “Question 1. It is noted that the Council report seeks feedback from

'key members' of the development industry. This is a specific recommendation. As a matter of clarity, and to ensure full engagement in the process, I ask that Council undertake feedback and consultation with all land owners within the City Centre, before a draft is developed?

The protection of land for commercial functions has underpinned planning policy in the CBD. This has led to the “Commercial Core” excluding any mixed commercial and residential development. Could Council include in its current review of the planning controls for the City Centre an analysis of opportunities for a mix of residential, commercial and retail development in the City Core? Could this review be included in the consultation with land owners and the development industry? The planning framework has failed to deliver significant investment in the commercial core of the CBD. The floor space capacities of the “Commercial Core” are significant. The opportunities for redevelopment numerous. The Commercial Core is not

opportunities. The real challenge faciactual investment. Could the review oPlanning Controls include a thorough analysis of the introduction of mixed residential and commercial development into the Commercial Core. This is the reality of most of the great cities of the world.”

12798 RESPONSE By Ms Louise Kerr – Manager Development Services:- “Question 1: All land owners within the City Centre will be consulted

when the draft plan is developed. However, it is desirable to gauge the response from the development industry on the recommended planning principles contained in the report as major property developers and industry groups have a focus on delivering commercial development.

Question 2: Given its strategic importance as Sydney’s next CBD, it

is imperative for the long term success of the City of Parramatta, that the planning controls ensure that there is sufficient land available for the provision of commercial floor space. This commercial floor space will, in turn, deliver employment opportunities which will strengthen Parramatta’s key role as an employment destination and regional city as identified in the NSW Metropolitan Plan.

The area of land currently zoned ‘B3 - Commercial Core’ is relatively small, in area, in the context of the City and it is not intended to examine any dilution of this zone in the form of residential development as this will compromise the ability of the city to deliver on its identified employment targets and overall vision.”

12799 RESPONSE

By Ms Jennifer Concato – Acting Manager Land Use Planning:- “Thank you for your public forum statement. The response to this statement is included in the report to Council tonight and dealt with fully in Attachment 2, item 6 and in the detailed assessment by Council’s heritage consultant in Attachment 7, item 6. 45 Chiswick Road, South Granville is part of a group item of 27, 29, 33 – 47 Chiswick Road and this group of cottages has significance as it is part of the first group development constructed by the newly formed Housing Commission in 1944. Heritage listings are noted on Council’s Section 149 Planning Certificates which form the basis of any contract for sale in NSW. The heritage guidelines in the Parramatta Development Control Plan 2011 provides opportunities for alterations and additions to heritage properties and the owner is invited to discuss possible design solutions for this property with Council's Heritage Advisor. Heritage conservation is not about conserving the past, but about retaining the cultural significance of items whilst managing change. Therefore, material alterations to heritage listed buildings may be appropriate in the context of ongoing use. The comprehensive heritage review has identified that the context of 45

The comprehensive heritage review concludes that on balance, the argument to retain listing prevails over reasons for removal from the schedule of listed items.”
