DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO DEVELOPMENT CONSENT AUTHORITY FUNCTIONS

Upon gazettal of the State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) on 1 October 2011, the following changes to consent authority functions will apply to the eight identified sites in the Redfern-Waterloo area. These are:

  1. Australian Technology Park (ATP)
  2. North Eveleigh
  3. South Eveleigh
  4. Eveleigh Street Precinct
  5. Redfern Railway Station, Gibbons and Regent Streets
  6. Former Rachel Forster Hospital
  7. Former Redfern Police Station / Court House
  8. Former Redfern Public School

The Minister for Planning and Infrastructure has delegated consent authority for development applications (DAs) and S96 modification applications under $10 million for Redfern-Waterloo sites to the City of Sydney.

This delegation is part of the broader reforms to implement the NSW Government's commitment to repeal Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and to return local planning matters to the local Council to determine.

The City of Sydney will now be responsible for:

  • Determining, under the Ministerial delegation, DAs under $10 million for development on the Redfern-Waterloo sites; and
  • Determining S96 modification applications to consents issued by the Minister on the Redfern-Waterloo sites.

The City of Sydney will continue to be consent authority for DAs and S96 modification applications for the broader Redfern-Waterloo area (i.e. outside of the Redfern-Waterloo sites).

DAs over $10 million for the identified Redfern-Waterloo sites will be determined by the State Government. The Minister for Planning and Infrastructure will not determine any DA lodged by a non-government agency as these applications will be determined by the Planning Assessment Commission or senior staff at the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure.
