Report to Council

Further technical review of planning proposal documentation.

Extraordinary Council Meeting where Council resolved to not support sending the PP through to the State Government for a Gateway determination.

The proponent may request a rezoning review, which allows the proponent to request an independent planning panel evaluate and recommend to the Minister whether a proposal should progress to Gateway determination. This can only occur after the lodgement of the planning proposal with Council, and council has:

• Notified the proponent in writing that it does not support the proposal.
• Failed to indicate its support for the planning proposal within 90 or 115 calendar days (depending on the planning proposal category) of the proponent lodging the planning proposal.
• Failed to submit the planning proposal for Gateway determination within 28 calendar days after it has indicated support.

The Planning Proposal, which is being coordinated by the Sydney North Planning Panel and assessed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI), was issued with a Gateway Determination (approval to proceed to the next stage of the rezoning process), subject to conditions.
