Planning proposals
Edgecliff Woollahra Precinct
Woollahra
The draft Edgecliff-Woollahra Precinct State-led Rezoning Proposal (the draft proposal) seeks to amend the planning controls in the Woollahra Local Environmental Plan 2021 (WLEP) to enable the delivery of more homes close to public transport, jobs, services and open space.
The draft proposal supports a balanced, state-wide approach to increasing housing supply and diversity, creating more opportunities for people to live near Sydney’s inner city.
Key features of the draft proposal include:
- approximately 9,400 new homes, with an affordable housing contribution base rate of 3% in perpetuity, increasing up to 15% for certain sites
- higher-density housing and commercial spaces of up to 34 storeys around Edgecliff Station and 32 storeys around Woollahra Station
- a larger retail centre at Edgecliff and a new Woollahra local centre, creating up to 1,000 jobs and providing additional community facilities and services
- retention and integration of local heritage items into the surrounding areas
- approximately 3.5 hectares of new and upgraded public open space across 13 parks (7 new parks, 6 existing parks) and a plaza
- improved connections throughout the Precinct with up to 9km of new walking and cycling paths
- planning controls that promote retention of tree canopy and provision for more landscape features.
