Council’s draft Chatswood CBD Planning and Urban Design Strategy, was on exhibition for community consultation until 17 March 2017.
The draft Strategy puts forward recommendations relating to planning controls and the design of buildings and public spaces that seek to position Chatswood for the opportunities with growth and the arrival of the Sydney Metro Rail.
It promotes new office employment in the core of Chatswood, in preference to residential towers, and seeks to enhance the centre’s amenity and design to strengthen its diverse and vibrant character.

Our local centres are important to our community life. They give us a strong sense of place and local character, and service our local needs. As our population grows and changes, our local centres need to respond by providing improved local shops and services, increased public transport, and enhanced amenity in our streets and public areas.
Through a Position Statement, which examines our various local centres, we propose a suite of principles to guide future growth and change in these locations.

The population of Willoughby is expected to increase by 18 per cent in the next 20 years to more than 89,000 people. Household size is expected to fall with an increasing number of singles and over 70s. To cater for these changes, a new supply of different housing types will be required in Willoughby. We need to plan for these changes and consider the best locations for new housing.
Council has prepared a Position Statement on Housing in Willoughby to provide background information and some principles for addressing this future growth.

Willoughby’s industrial lands, in Artarmon and East Chatswood, play an important role in providing and sustaining diverse employment opportunities. They are regularly the subject of proposals for other uses such as retailing and residential.
Council proposed that these changes should be resisted and industrial lands protected to provide local employment and services.
A Position Statement outlining the current situation in relation to Willoughby’s Industrial lands, together with suggested principles for the future, is available for community comment.
