the planning process
The current planning controls that apply to the Club’s landholdings are established under the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan (Local Centres) 2012 (hereafter referred to as KLEP 2012).
The KLEP 2012 establishes the range of land uses that can be built on the site and prescribes the maximum floor space ratio and height controls. The site is zone B2 Local Centres under the LEP and ‘Registered Clubs’ and ‘Shop Top Housing’ are permissible uses with the consent of the Council.
Realising the Club’s development vision will necessitate a change to be made to the height control that applies to the Club’s land holdings to enable the required 7 storey building form to be achieved. The existing controls allow for a maximum height of 6 storeys.
The planning process to be followed for this project will require the approval of three separate planning applications by Ku-ring-gai Council and the Department of Planning:
- Application 1 will involve a complying with the current controls development application seeking approval for the new club, basement car parking and the development of 6 storeys of shop top housing. This application will be lodged with the Council in the first quarter of 2018.
- Application 2 will involve a Planning Proposal application requesting an amendment to the height controls that relate to the site under KLEP 2012 to enable a further one storey of shop top housing to be developed. The Planning Proposal will be lodged concurrently with Development Application 1 in the first quarter of 2018.
- Application 3 will involve a second Development Application and will only proceed if the amendment to the height control is supported by the Ku-ring-gai Council. This Development Application would seek approval for the remaining one storey of residential apartments.
