Planning Proposal to amend the zoning and planning controls for land at 53-75 Forest Road, 108-126 Durham Street and 9 Roberts Lane, Hurstville (450 homes, 411 jobs)

The planning proposal seeks to amend Hurstville Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 in relation to a 14,070m2 triangular shaped site including 19 lots at 53-75 Forest Road, 108-126 Durham Street and 9 Roberts Lane, Hurstville known as 'Hurstville East'. Specifically, the proposal seeks to rezone the site from predominantly IN2 Light Industrial (13,378 m2) and part R2 Low Density Residential (692m2) to B4 Mixed Use, increase the maximum floor space ratio (FSR) from 0.6 (R2) and 1:1 (IN2) to 2:1 along Roberts Lane and up to 3.5:1 for the remainder of the site (including a minimum commercial FSR of 0.5:1) and increase the maximum building height from 9m (R2) and 10m (IN2) to a range of heights of 12m along Roberts Lane and 21m, 28m, 30m, 40m and 65m for the remainder of the site. The proposal also seeks to introduce an active street frontage along Forest Road and Durham Street and provide a hotel incentive of 0.5:1 for hotel accommodation land uses for the portion of the site on the corner of Forest Road and Durham Street.
