Kogarah Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 (Amendment No. 2) which was gazetted on 26 May 2017 is known as the Kogarah New City Plan. It included a number of changes to provide options for additional housing opportunities to meet the future needs of our community, including changes to zones, building heights and floor space ratios (FSR). In particular, new planning controls were introduced in the Kogarah North Precinct to allow for higher density residential development.
The
Kogarah North Urban Design Strategy (Strategy) provides recommendations so Council can determine a preferred urban design and planning response for the future redevelopment of the Kogarah North Precinct that maintains a high quality of amenity for existing and future residents.
The Strategy has been informed by a detailed urban design and planning analysis and a series of place based considerations, which include:
- Vehicular transport and access
- Active and public transport
- Landscape character
- Heritage items
- Land ownership, and
- Strata property.
At its meeting on 27 November 2017, Council endorsed the Kogarah North Urban Design Strategy as a Strategic Planning document that will inform the preparation of the Development Control Plan (DCP) for the Kogarah North Precinct.
