LEP Special Character Area – Restricted Retail Development

The planning proposal maps the site on the Retail Premises
Map, in line with Sydney LEP 2012 controls. The George
Street corridor is excluded from the Restricted Retail Premises provision,
while the remainder of the site is subject to this provision. In accordance
with Sydney LEP 2012 clause 7.23 ‘Large retail development outside of Green
Square Town Centre and other planned centres’, larger retail premises (such as
larger supermarkets) will be allowed along George Street but elsewhere shops
and markets are limited to 1,000 sqm.

LEP Active Street Frontages Map

 

The planning proposal also maps Active Street Frontages in
Sydney LEP 2012, along the extent of George Street and
on corners and laneways extending off the sides of George Street. This mapping
is used by clause 7.27 ‘Active street frontages’ and requires all premises on
the ground floor of identified buildings to be used for the purposes of
business premises or retail premises, and for those premises to have an active
street frontage. This Planning Proposal expands the requirement to include all
of the following uses on the ground floor of identified buildings in Waterloo
Estate (South): business premises, retail premises, community facilities,
health facilities, and centre-based childcare facilities. The proposal says that identifying George Street will ensure delivery of retail,
business premises and community uses along the extent of the main street in the
site, helping support a lively and continuous strip of activity, and providing convenient,
easy access to retail by residents. Identifying side streets and laneways will
deliver overflow and more affordable retail space, to support a diversity of
uses and provide room for growth.
