Cooks Cove Planning Proposal

A planning proposal for Cooks Cove was notified for public comment between 24 April and 6 June 2023.

The Sydney Eastern City Planning Panel is the Planning Proposal Authority for this planning proposal. The panel will now review and consider all submissions received.

The proposal seeks to: 

• remove the site from State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts - Eastern Harbour City) 2021 (the Eastern Harbour City SEPP), and  
• amend the Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021 (LEP) to include the site. 

New site-specific planning provisions will be included in the Bayside LEP 2021, including: 

• New SP4 Enterprise zone across the majority of the Kogarah Golf Course land to permit trade related enterprises, commercial uses, retail uses, hotel or motel accommodation, serviced apartments and logistics and warehouse uses;  
• New RE1 Public Recreation zoned land for the foreshore area of the site adjacent to the Cooks River and adjacent to Marsh Street;   
• SP2 Infrastructure zone to the existing Marsh Street Roadway and Arncliffe Permanent Motorway Facilities;  
• Maximum Building Height of RL51m;  
• Limit gross floor area (GFA) within different areas of the site and insert floor area requirements to achieve intended logistics and warehousing outcomes for the site; and  
• Reclassify Lot 14 DP213314 and Lot 1 DP108492 from ‘community’ to ‘operational’ land to facilitate local road access and the provision of infrastructure to support development within the SP4 Enterprise zone.  

The project will deliver approximately 3,300 jobs near existing residential areas and transport infrastructure. Public land no longer forms part of the sites developable area. More than 85 hectares of public land will largely remain as open space.
