3 State Significant Infrastructure

Government without community getting any input

opportunity and lack of info flow back to Community

directly affected e.g. Milsons Pt.

Action - Precinct recommends that Council take direct

action in so far as possible to address this situation given

immediate local impact and given that the Hearings fail to

take into account the impact on the local area and only

examine issues within the development not the impact

Council’s Manager Development Services has advised that

the management of public consultation for these

applications rests with the Department of Planning. The

Departments consultation regime does not generally

feature Public Meetings as seen in past processes at North

Sydney Council when applications were determined by the

elected Council.

and verbal submission when the matter is heard before the

developments impacting one small area at the same time.

Precinct supports the GM’s idea to create a Working Paper

and invite a State Planning Rep.

determinations and are thus generally across the issues

raised by the Community and the Council. Council staff

also try to engage with the department but this is also not

without difficulty. We will keep raising this issue with the

Department. I believe their intent is not to cut the

Community out totally but to streamline a somewhat

convoluted process as much as possible.

on 26 June 2018, Council resolves as the planning proposal

authority for the North Sydney LGA not to accept any new

planning proposals involving a residential use as per the

Minister’s initiative, until the earlier of 1 July 2020 or the

planning process and with the exception of any Planning

Proposal submitted consistent with and in relation to a Precinct

Planning Study already adopted by Council.

Officer’s report available from Council’s website.

Council’s Manager Strategic Planning has advised that

Council has forwarded this request to the Minister for

Planning and awaits a formal response.

10 Affordable Housing - Need for an increase in the NSC

LGA

Action - Precinct agrees with the need for an increase in

Affordable Housing in the NSC LGA and urge Council to

take action to implement this.

Council’s Manager Strategic Planning has advised that the

provision and achievement in housing affordability is a

complex matter in Sydney. Local Government has less

tools at its disposal than State and Federal Government to

work towards this outcome. Nonetheless, all Councils,

including North Sydney Council., are required to formulate

"Local Housing Strategies" under the District Plan.

Affordable housing will be one component that is explored

as part of that process.

July Guest Speaker - Council’s Sustainability Project Officer

gave an excellent presentation which everyone found very

useful and informative. His delivery was very good. He

disseminated facts and detail in a clear efficient manner.

He didn’t get bogged down in technical detail but imparted

the key facts that people need to be aware of and

remember. The information was surprising to many in that

people had different misconceptions of some of the issues

re gas v electricity. He enlightened us on Green Power,

Black Power, Heat Pumps and the major benefits of

reverse cycle which is something most people thought was

historically a negative thing.

UPADATE (24 May 2018) Council’s Senior Assessment Officer (Planning) has

advised that:

(i) the use of hall is conditioned to be school related

community activities only; no third party independent

commercial operations are permitted. The school has

the discretion regarding what these activities are as

long as they are community/school related.

Any independent third party and ongoing use which

would otherwise require a Development application

would not meet this definition.

Council cannot intervene based only on current

speculative community concerns particularly prior to

commencement of operations on site and the precinct

must persist in directing their concerns to the DEC and

School itself.

Once the operation commences and there are uses of

the hall identified which may contravene the

requirements of the condition, these can be reported by

residents and investigated by Council's compliances

officers.

(ii) The school is required to submit a construction traffic

management for the endorsement of the Traffic

Committee as part of their conditions.

Until exact volumes and types of trucks involved are

quantified it is unknown whether there would be any

diversions required. A decision of the Traffic

Clarification from Council on whether commercial/large

vehicles will be diverted to reduce the risk to cyclists.

UPDATE (14 September 2018)

Council’s Senior Assessment Officer (Planning) has

advised that there are no conditions that specifically detail

that traffic to be diverted to provide safety to the bike lane

in Rodborough Avenue. Being a Crown DA the applicant

was within their rights to not agree to the imposition of

such conditions. The applicant is required however, to

have their construction traffic management plan endorsed

by the North Sydney Council Traffic Committee. The

concerns can be put to the committee and it is possible that

specific requirements may be able to be negotiated in this

regard but it is a matter for the committee and applicant to

resolve. It is noted however that there is insufficient space

within the site for articulated trucks to enter, reverse/turn

around and exit all from West Street and the applicant

(Crown authority) require the trucks to use Rodborough

Avenue to make the construction traffic management

work. It is also noted that the construction activities will be

temporary.

were related to a previous resident parking survey.

UPDATE (6 April 2018)


advised that as part of the North Sydney Integrated Traffic

and Parking Strategy, Council has adopted Local Area

Traffic Management (LATM) Action Plans (formerly

known as TAPAS). The LATM implementation procedure

adopts a methodology that takes into consideration an area

wide traffic management scheme and allows the

community’s high priority traffic projects to be ranked

according to a number of criteria, including safety, traffic

volume, speeds, pedestrian and cycling volumes,

surrounding land uses, and alignment with the North

Sydney Community Strategic Plan.

The Action Plans will form the basis of a works program

to be implemented by Council going forward. The Action

Plans will also be updated and reviewed on an ongoing

basis to ensure they are relevant and up-to-date. The

LATM Action Plan for Zone 2 contains a number of

proposals to address similar concerns in Moodie Street and

Lytton Street including - partial closure at either Ernest

Street or Falcon Street (T.29); convert Moodie Street to

one-way (T.35a); create 40km/h local area speed zone

(T.35b).

The 40km/h local speed zone and partial closure proposals

are ranked higher than converting the street to one-way

Closed for

Council



due to the additional benefits they provide in terms of

pedestrian amenity and speed management, whilst

maintaining access for residents.

Further investigation and consultation with local residents

will be undertaken prior to implementation of the projects

in the LATM Action Plans. By maintaining the North

Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy process,

especially with the constant review and updating of the

Action Plans, Council is confident that, over time, most

traffic related issues can be equitably addressed.
