Planning proposals

Finalisation

Waterloo Estate (South)

Sydney

The proposed plan for Waterloo south will help deliver new social housing, affordable housing, and private homes with access to improved community facilities, parks, shops and transport.

Included in the plan are changes to the local environmental plan for:

  • how land is used
  • heights of buildings
  • floor space ratio controls
  • land for parks
  • how buildings should be designed
  • car parking requirements
  • social and affordable housing requirements
  • heritage and conservation
  • retail and active street front requirements.

The planning proposal for Waterloo south was on public exhibition from 3 March to 29 April 2022.

The department reviewed all feedback received during the exhibition period and carried out additional investigations needed to better understand the issues raised. 

The feedback and findings from the studies helped inform changes to the proposed plan. 

The revised plan for Waterloo south has been submitted for review against the gateway conditions and finalisation.

A final decision on the plan will be made by the Minister for Planning and Homes (or their delegate) in late 2022. 

View the submissions made during public exhibition 

Please note, figure 33 ‘Height in storeys’ in the planning proposal was updated on 11 March 2022.
