Vision Statement “The City of Canada Bay will provide a diverse range of housing choice to meet the changing housing needs of residents as well as opportunities for increases in housing provision to support the growth of the Sydney region. Additional housing will be provided in major redevelopment sites as part of the transformation and renewal of the Parramatta Road corridor, as well as part of the Rhodes Planned Precinct. These will incorporate high density residential areas with provision of one--bedroom apartments. The mix of apartments will include a range of sizes from smaller one apartments to larger 33-4 bedroom apartments suitable for families. Social infrastructure, particularly particularly the provision of open space and parkland, will be expanded to meet the needs of the growing populations. In addition to increasing the overall supply of housing, Canada Bay will diversify the type of housing. This diversification will be located around local centres that provide walkability to services and shops whilst also being located with access to public transport networks, particularly rail. This will provide a range of medium density housing forms, including low rise apartments, attached and multi multi-unit dwellings to meet changing housing needs of residents over their lifecycle. Areas of identified character will be protected, with planning controls to ensure that the scale and design of infill development complements and builds on this existing character. character. Affordability of housing will be addressed through the requirement for major redevelopment sites to provide affordable housing that can be managed by community housing providers. This will allow key workers and households on lowlow-moderate incomes to live within the City of Canada Bay, and retain social and economic diversity. Housing will be accessible, adaptable and diverse and will cater for people at all life stages, including an aging population. Additional housing will contribute towards meeting meeting the needs of Sydney’s growing population, with corresponding upgrades in infrastructure to support this additional activity, and to manage increased congestion and levels of use. This will include provision of new and upgraded social infrastructure as part part of centres, whilst also providing improved parkland.”” walking and cycling facilities as well as open space and parkland.
