Public exhibition

From 19 July - 18 August 2023 we exhibited a proposed amendment to the Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 to introduce site specific controls for 252-254 New South Head Road, Double Bay.

The proposed controls address (but are not limited to):

  • Built form and façade articulation
  • Deep soil
  • Apartment mix
  • Overshadowing
  • Privacy and view-sharing issues.

The controls will help ensure any development on the site suitably responds to issues concerning residential amenity and local character. They are designed to complement existing site-specific provisions in Clause 6.8 of the Woollahra Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP) and will be contained in a new chapter of the LEP under Part G: Site Specific Controls. The controls will only apply to 252-254 New South Head Road, Double Bay.

All submissions were considered before the proposed amendment was taken back to Council for a decision to be made.
