Draft Homebush Bay West Development Control Plan, Amendment 2
The Department is proposing to amend the existing Homebush Bay West Development Control Plan (DCP) for the site at 16 Burroway Road and Part 5 Footbridge Boulevard, Wentworth Point, known as ‘Block H’.
The DCP amendment proposes changes to public open space and built form and will be used to guide the assessment of future development proposals on the site.
The key changes that are proposed to the existing DCP include:
- An increase in the total gross floor area (GFA) from 32,400m2 to 98,619 m2, including community facilities. This includes an increase to the residential GFA from 30,000m² (approx. 350 dwellings) to 85,000m² (approximately 997 dwellings).
- Built form changes aligned to the increased GFA including:
- An increase to the maximum building height from 16 storeys (for part of the site) and 25 storeys (for another part of the site) to approximately 40 storeys across the site;
- An increase in the base building form from 8 storeys to 10 storeys; and
- Refinements to setbacks, tower footprints, and arrangement of building forms.
- An increase in the minimum public open space from 10,973m² to 16,737m² which is to include a main urban park of 10,044m².
- Changes to the layout and orientation of public open space.
The proposal is accompanied by a draft voluntary Planning Agreement prepared by the landowner which is currently being assessed by City of Parramatta Council (Council). The Planning Agreement is a mechanism to provide community infrastructure that is needed to support the proposal, in addition to local development contributions. Council is responsible for separately exhibiting and finalising the Planning Agreement. The Department will work closely with Council on the Planning Agreement process. For more information on the Planning Agreement visit Council's website.
