Exhibition is now closed.

From 24 May to 21 June 2022, comment was sought on a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) relating to a planning proposal seeking to amend development controls at 42-52 Anderson St, Chatswood.

This followed the exhibition of the planning proposal for the site in 2021 which sought to:

1. Rezone the site from R3 Medium Density Residential to B4 Mixed Use
2. Increase the maximum building height standards from 12m to 90m
3. Increase the maximum floor space ratio (FSR) standard from 0.9:1 to 6:1

The Council had given public notice on a draft VPA relating to this planning proposal in accordance with Clause 204 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.

The draft VPA proposes to secure a monetary contribution of $8,016,665 for funding public works in the Chatswood CBD area to support the development growth resulting from the increased density at the subject site.

The monetary contribution provided by the VPA, if executed, will be applied towards the Community Infrastructure works under the Planning Agreement Policy & Procedures Manual, providing valuable public benefits to the Chatswood community.

The Council was given delegated authority on 23 May 2022 to execute the Planning Agreement which occured on 23 June 2022.
