Creating a holistic community centre together

An increase in height and floor space is being sought through a Planning Proposal to support the growing needs of the TSA and deliver a renewed site.

The Planning Proposal was submitted to Sutherland Shire Council in late December 2023. Council is currently assessing the proposal to understand the impacts and benefits it will deliver, particularly with regard to housing availability and diversity, links to existing transport services, contribution to the local economy and of course traffic, environmental and other potential impacts.

Once a report has been submitted and accepted by Council, the Planning Proposal will be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for a Gateway Determination. This assesses the proposal for adequacy and, once approved, the proposal is returned to Council for public exhibition and consultation.

Following the approval of a Planning Proposal, the submission of a comprehensive Development Application (DA) to the local Council initiates a community consultation process.

This involves public notification, an exhibition period for reviewing DA plans, and information sessions for stakeholders including the public and local community.

The Council considers community feedback in the decision-making process, analysing submissions and communicating the outcome to the public and the applicant.

The construction can only begin once the DA is approved and all Construction Certification is secured.
