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:
- Australian Technology Park (ATP)
- North Eveleigh
- South Eveleigh
- Eveleigh Street Precinct
- Redfern Railway Station, Gibbons
and Regent Streets
- Former Rachel Forster Hospital
- Former Redfern Police Station
/ Court House
- 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.
