CouncilResolution 3December2024
That Council notes that investigations and feasibility studies undertaken by Council show that the 6-storey rezonings proposed under the Government’s Transport Orientated Development scheme will not lead to the required number ofnew homesactuallybeingdelivered.
That Council notes that the feasibility studies undertaken demonstrate that small lot sizes and high land values in the Inner West mean that higher densities will be required to make amalgamation and development of these sites commercially viable.
That Council commits to finalising and bringing a draft LGA-wide LEP no later thanthe April2025Council meeting.
ThatCouncil commits toapublic exhibition in April2025.
