508 5715201 Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (Land and Housing Corporation)

Housing Mosman contains 70 social housing properties all over 31 years old. NSW Government seeking to grow social housing portfolio per NSW Govt’s Future Directions in Social Housing Strategy 2016. Suggest including an action to support the maintenance and renewal of social housing.

Social housing is important as part of the housing mix for people on lower incomes, including older people and people with a disability. There are around 70 social housing properties in Mosman within apartments located on Spit Road.

Yes – Within Planning Priority 5, text included within rationale to note the importance of social housing and reference social housing properties in Mosman. A new action is also included re collaboration with the NSW Government to maintain existing social housing.

605 5712773 NSW Aboriginal Land Council

Heritage Encourage councils to use goals/actions of Example LSPS prepared by DPIE for local councils to work in partnership with LALCs to promote tourism, enhance the economic self-determination of Aboriginal Communities through their land holdings, and protect and celebrate Aboriginal culture and heritage.

Addressed in Planning Priorities 3 and 8. There are no Aboriginal land holdings or claims in Mosman. Most Aboriginal heritage sites in Mosman are located on public land within Sydney Harbour National Park.

No

Other Support protecting and enhancing Mosman's urban tree canopy. Suggest include a new planning priority re healthy built environments (Design and provide places and spaces that are healthy to live in, to work in and to visit), and focus on need to provide shade to reduce UV exposure.

Council provides shade through increasing canopy cover, and building shaded areas within recreation spaces (e.g. shade cloths over play equipment, bbq seating areas, and around public amenities buildings). Healthy built environments are more than providing shade. According to the UNSW City Wellbeing Program, physical activity, social connection and healthy food options are also factors contributing to a healthy built environment. Many existing Council initiatives respond to these criteria.

Yes – New Planning Priority 4 included re healthy built environments. The title of the planning priority is as per CI NSW’s suggestion, however the planning priority, rationale and actions cover much more than shade, instead more broadly explaining the importance of carefully planned built environments to ensure the health and well-being of the community.

642 5717781 Taronga Conservation Society Australia (submission written by Urbis)

Economy & Tourism

Emphasise the strategic and regional importance of Taronga Zoo within Sydney and NSW. Investigate rezoning the Zoo from SP1 to SP3 to facilitate tourism-related development and uses. Support an amendment to MLEP2012 exempt schedule to adjust capital investment value (CIV) threshold for zoo from $1mil to $2mil. Clarify why Zoo is identified on Structure Plan (page 27) as being within a sensitive area. No details of the ‘protection and management measures’ relating to this land are given. The shading is confusing.

Taronga Zoo’s role as a significant tourism attractor in Mosman is adequately stated in the draft LSPS. The zoo is referenced 11 times including being shown on maps. Taronga Zoo is zoned SP1 Zoological Gardens under MLEP2012, which permits zoological gardens and any development that is ordinarily incidental or ancillary to development for that purpose. This zone reflects the primary purpose of the site and is reasonable. Zone SP3 would permit a broad range of ‘tourism and visitor accommodation’ uses (i.e. backpackers, hotels, serviced apartments) independent of the zoo. This raises many issues including impact on resident amenity, traffic and appropriate use of public land. The request re exempt threshold will be considered as part of the LEP review. The zoo is located within a coastal management area, bushfire prone, located within a scenic protection area and heritage listed.

Yes – The Structure Plan has been revised and additional maps included within the Appendix to clarify ‘sensitive’ land in Mosman. Additional text has also been included within Planning Priority 11 regarding tourism, and the opportunities and challenges that this brings in Mosman.

644 5719370 Department of Defence

Other Concerned to ensure that the long-term viability of HMAS Penguin is not compromised through inappropriate development on surrounding land. Requests Council prudently consider any land use or development proposals in the vicinity. Cautions against the assumption that the use of the Defence Estate will remain static.

Noted. The draft LSPS does not propose any significant change in the vicinity of HMAS Penguin.

No

646 5720839 Sydney Water Open Space & Sustainability

Encourage Council to proactively engage with Sydney Water to align development with the delivery of new water and wastewater infrastructure. Recommend Council expand planning priority 2 re collaboration, and requests Council consider appropriate land use zoning for water related infrastructure. Place further emphasis on good water quality; incorporate elements of water sensitive urban design into new and existing areas; consider planning controls which aim to maintain or improve local waterways and marine environments; monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of current water quality activities.

Council staff contacted Sydney Water on 27 August 2019 regarding land use zoning. Sydney Water advised of a site in Upper Spit Road which should be rezoned to SP2, consistent with the zoning of other Sydney Water assets in Mosman (i.e. SP2 Drainage or SP2 Public Utility Undertaking under Mosman LEP 2012). This will be considered in future LEP amendments. Council collaborates with various NSW Government agencies and others on a regular basis. Several examples are given in the rationale for Planning Priority 2. Re water quality – refer to comments below to similar issues raised in the NSW EPA submission.

Yes – re water quality, refer to comments below to similar issues raised in the NSW EPA submission.

651 5729569 Transport for NSW

Traffic & Transport

Focussing growth along Spit/Military Roads outside of local centres may increase congestion without demand management measures, or active transport. Focus growth within compact, walkable, mixed use centres. Mosman has been earmarked in Future Transport 2056 for 0-10 years committed initiatives (Northern Beaches B-Line and Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link). Consider a movement and place approach. Consider freight and servicing. Clarify active transport measures. Identify public transport in Mosman. Identify initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases.

Future growth will largely be focussed in the centres. There are existing housing opportunities within R3, B2 and B6 zoning under Mosman Local Environmental Plan 2012. The Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link presents an opportunity to consider improvements in amenity and connection along Spit/Military Roads. Spit/Military Roads is the primary route for freight within Mosman. Council works with NHVR to consider freight movements and ensure public safety. Mosman is serviced by Sydney Buses and Sydney Ferries. There are many cycling and walking routes throughout Mosman, and Council has works programs for improvements. Council has initiatives to manage existing public parking areas, reduce reliance on private vehicles and so on.

Yes – Within Planning Priority 9, amendments have been made to better identify active transport measures, freight, existing public transport and Council initiatives. A new Planning Priority 10 has been included re the Spit-Military Roads Corridor and opportunities that may exist should the Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link be constructed. Within Planning Priority 7, new text has been included re the importance of considering freight in planning for centres. The Structure Plan and Location Maps have also been updated to show the main bus and ferry routes to Mosman.

652 5766658 NSW Premier & Cabinet (Heritage NSW)

Heritage Support many of the initiatives in the draft Mosman Statement, including the vision, planning priorities and actions which seek to protect and conserve Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage, and the scenic protection area. Suggest matters that Council consider when finalising the draft LSPS, including considering how Aboriginal heritage can be protected within MLEP2012; character statements recognising heritage as a fundamental aspect of the identity of a place; and linkages between heritage and tourism.

Mosman’s heritage is an important and celebrated feature of the municipality. This is recognised within the draft LSPS, within Planning Priority 8 primarily Protect and conserve the natural, built and Aboriginal cultural heritage of Mosman, and elsewhere in the document. Inclusion of Aboriginal heritage within the LEP requires further discussion with Heritage NSW and the DPIE. Aboriginal heritage is not included within MLEP2012 consistent with the advice of DPIE. Planning Priority 6, Action 2, is to consider approaches for integrating character into land use planning as per the NSW Government’s Local Character and Place Guideline, 2019. Mosman Junction (within the Military Road Heritage Conservation Area) may be a suitable candidate.

Yes - Planning Priority 11 has been expanded upon to identify tourism and visitation initiatives that celebrate Mosman’s culture and heritage.

1 5694142 James Lovell (on behalf of owners of 214 Spit Rd 2 Medusa St) (Mosman)

Housing Owners of properties identified as No. 214 Spit Road and No. 2 Medusa Street are seeking to have R2 Low Density Residential land rezoned to R3 Medium Density Residential. The sites are suitable for rezoning in terms of topography, existing vegetation, planning overlays and matters, proximity to main roads and public transport, neighbourhood character, Mosman residential development strategy and the North District Plan.

The subject sites are located at the northern end of Spit Road, on the corner of Medusa Street, and currently zoned R2 Low Density Residential under MLEP 2012. The site is adjacent to Saint Therese Catholic Church (zoned SP2). Land to the north and west along Medusa Street is zoned R2, whilst land opposite the site and further along Spit Road is zoned R3 Medium Density Residential. For the reasons given in the Council report, amending MLEP 2012 to facilitate greater density is not supported at this time. Housing need in Mosman will be considered in further detail in a local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020. Within the draft LSPS, housing is addressed in Planning Priorities 5 and 6.

Zoe Holland (Mosman)

Mosman Junction supermarket

Support Council changing planning controls to limit the size of retail premises in Mosman Junction. Objects to any large scale supermarket in Mosman Village/Mosman Junction, including Woolworths. Large scale retail would destroy local character and undermine residential amenity by increasing traffic and reducing variety of shops. Any large scale supermarket and development would impact struggling local businesses and erode the nature of shopping and living in the community. There are numerous large scale Woolworths and Coles within a short distance of Mosman.

Within the draft LSPS, the importance of maintaining the village atmosphere, character and heritage of Mosman Junction is included within Council’s Vision and Planning Priority 7. The development of land in Mosman Junction is subject to MLEP 2012 and the Mosman Business Centres DCP 2012, which contain controls relating to height, bulk, heritage, design, traffic, parking and amenity. Consideration will be given to reviewing planning controls for Mosman Junction to ensure that the village atmosphere is maintained. Refer to the Council report for a more detailed discussion on this issue.

Traffic & Transport

Traffic is a problem and is set to increase with the population increasing, would like alternative public transport options for Northern Beaches’ commuters.

The draft LSPS recognises that traffic congestion in Mosman is a significant issue. Planning Priority 9 includes actions to advocate to the NSW Government for solutions to reduce regional traffic congestion on Spit-Military Roads, to collaborate on solutions to manage demand, and to prepare and implement an Active Transport Strategy for Mosman. Planning Priority 10 responds to the NSW Government’s infrastructure commitment for construction of the Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link, and the opportunities that this may bring for Mosman as a result of the forecast reduction in traffic volume.

Yes – Amendments to Planning Priority 9 to outline Council initiatives and collaboration re access and active transport. New Planning Priority 10 responds to the Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link, and opportunities for Mosman.

Pro-forma submission: Opposed to a large scale supermarket, such as a

Woolworths, in Mosman Junction or Mosman Village. Concerned that a large scale retail outlet will destroy

the local character and undermine residential amenity with significantly increased traffic congestion and a reduction in the variety of shops.

Support Council changing planning controls to limit the size of retail premises to only allow small local shops in Mosman Junction and Mosman Village.

Small shops better service the needs of our community in a competitive traditional low-rise shopfront environment.

The Woolworths proposal would destroy the village character, bring traffic chaos, threaten pedestrian safety of students, drive local shops out of business, reduce variety and quality of goods sold locally, reduce neighbouring residents quality of life and diminish the village's architectural feel.

10 5702321 Monique Aschner (Undisclosed)


Opposed to a large supermarket, such as Woolworths in Mosman Village, due to concerns regarding impact on local businesses and on the village feel. Harris Farm and IGA are upgrading facilities, therefore another large outlet is unnecessary. It's a money making exercise for Woolworths, not about providing for the community.


11 5702322 Will Riley (Mosman)


A major aspect of Mosman's unique charm is the village feel with local, predominantly independent, shops serving the community. Vehemently opposed of the prospect of a major Woolworths Development. It would be unconscionable for any Councillor to support this application.


12 5702359 Pam Lofthouse (Mosman)

Heritage Ensure that the highest protections are given to heritage items and conservations areas, current approach not adequate. There has been too much local development where only "token" conservation has occurred i.e. retaining just facades. Restrict the demolition of heritage assets possible in only the most exceptional cases.

Development on heritage sites is regulated by clause 5.10 of MLEP 2012 (mandated by the NSW Government). A heritage impact statement is required to be submitted to Council with any development application for works on a heritage listed item or within a conservation area, which is considered by Council’s Heritage Advisor in the assessment of the proposal. Council takes pride in initiatives such as the Heritage Advisory Service and Heritage Assistance Fund which support the conservation of Mosman’s 500+ heritage items and 1,300+ properties within conservation areas. Within the draft LSPS, heritage is addressed in Planning Priority 8.

Large scale development in Mosman Village will have significant impacts on traffic and pedestrian safety, local businesses and goods, and architectural heritage.


Housing More houses or units will not assist affordability. Overdevelopment, insufficient street access and narrow streets are causing 24/7 noise and pollution.

Within the draft LSPS, housing is addressed in Planning Priorities 5 and 6. MLEP 2012 facilitates a diversity of housing types providing choice, and supports people in need through community service programs. The constraint of poor road capacity in Mosman is recognised as an issue, as is the varied landform, established subdivision pattern, narrow streets and lack of surplus land. Housing need in Mosman will be considered in further detail in a local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020.

Plan should address how to develop a more sustainable approach - better recycling, lower energy and more flexible spaces.

Planning Priority 15 addresses energy, water and waste efficiency, including recycling and waste management. It details Mosman’s energy consumption and amount of CO2 released in 2016-17. Action 1 is to support initiatives that contribute to the aspirational objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Initiatives include the installation of solar panels on civic buildings, and to accelerate LED conversion of residential lighting.

Concerned about the potential development of Woolworths on Military Rd with impacts to traffic, parking and local character. It would be inconsistent with the Plan’s key statements including "protect and manage sensitive land", "lack capacity in the road network" and "preserving Mosman's distinctive character” and it would not meet any of the planning priorities.


44 5702559 Rodney Hyman AM (Mosman)


Object to any development on Military Rd for a major supermarket and/or shopping centre. A major supermarket will have a negative effect on the amenity and village atmosphere of Mosman Village, and will be the demise of the many unique shops. A supermarket will add significantly to the traffic and parking problem on Military Rd.

The proposed Woolworths development would damage the character and worth of Mosman, and increase the noise levels, traffic and general disruptions.

Strongly object to the Woolworths proposal in Mosman. It is too large scale, will drive out all local business and will completely destroy the current village atmosphere, character and charm.

Opposed to the Woolworths Development proposal. Please do not allow the destruction of our unique village atmosphere. Mosman does not ever need this type of development.


61 5703045 David (Undisclosed)



62 5703088 Nicola Gates (Mosman)


Love Mosman’s small village feel and small shops that give it unique character. Opposed to Woolworths in Mosman because Impacts on traffic, congestion, parking, road access and pedestrian safety (close proximity to schools), do not need another large food retailer, loss of village feel, monolithic Woolworths is not good for local businesses


63 5703089 Phil Costa (Mosman)



64 5703126 Gillian Armstrong & John Pleffer (Mosman)


Opposed to a large scale supermarket such as Woolworths, in Mosman. It contradicts the Planning Statement, will destroy the Village character, will increase traffic and congestion and will drive local shops out of business. Mosman is serviced by other supermarkets within Mosman and surrounding suburbs. Strongly support Council changing planning controls to limit the size of retail premises in Mosman Junction/Village. Low rise shop fronts form the sense of heritage and charm of Mosman.


65 5703276 R M Harris (Undisclosed)



66 5703277 Eva Havas (Undisclosed)


Love the village atmosphere in Mosman. Traffic is already creating congestion, a large shopping centre and parking will create real problems. Can be seen in Crows Nest where a Woolworths is creating traffic issues.


67 5703278 Gino Joseph (Mosman)



68 5703279 Jenny West (Mosman)


Opposed the Woolworths development in Mosman for the following reasons: • The impact on the local village atmosphere. • Increased congestion on an already busy road and pedestrian safety (near a school and aged care home). • Impact on local businesses and their viability. • Residents already have a large supermarket selection in

Mosman and surrounding suburbs. • Lack of community consultation.

69 5703280 Josephine Richards (Mosman)


Object to a large-scale retail and residential development, including a Woolworths supermarket, at Mosman Junction. The uniqueness and village feel of the precinct must be preserved by focussing on opportunities for small-scale businesses and making the area as pedestrian friendly as possible.


70 5703281 Susan Sieur (Mosman)



71 5703282 Andy Kennard (Mosman)


Strongly object to Woolworths developing a huge supermarket, shopping mall and residential complex. It will destroy the village atmosphere of the Mosman Junction shops, put out of business the many small shop owners and increase traffic during construction and operation. Mosman has more than enough supermarkets.


72 5703283 Cathie & Jim Bertouch (Undisclosed)


A new Woolworths development will have a negative impact on small businesses, aesthetic presence and council revenue. The massive footprint will stand for many and suck the life out of our village. Mosman is a 10 minute drive from a nearby Woolworths, which also offers a delivery service. Mosman Junction should retain the village feel and aim to improve it with matching shop awnings should have been introduced years ago, more trees, plants, street lamps, beautify laneways.


73 5703284 Geelong63 (Undisclosed)


Mosman Junction’s village atmosphere with quality shops, cafes and small businesses in general is enjoyable. Strongly object to the current Woolworths plan to totally disrupt the Mosman area by knocking down heritage buildings. There are already two Woolworths stores in Neutral Bay, there is no need to destroy the beautiful environment with another.


74 5703285 Alexandra Matthews (Mosman)



75 5703286 Richard Williamson (Undisclosed)


Opposed to the proposed Woolworth supermarket in Mosman. It is completely unnecessary and will cause traffic congestion and the loss of small non chain retailers will be considerable. Prefer to use the existing shops in Mosman than a Woolworths.


76 5703287 Justin Doyle (Mosman)

79 5703290 Elizabeth Mulholland (Undisclosed)


Opposed to Woolworths in Mosman Village, Council should do all in their power to deny Woolworths.


80 5703291 Moritz V H (Undisclosed)


Opposed to a large format supermarket like Woolworths being built in the Mosman Village. It will destroy the village feel, drive smaller shops into bankruptcy, create additional traffic issues. There are plenty of large supermarkets in close proximity, one in the village will not provide any benefits.


81 5703292 Dr Leesa Rix (Mosman)



82 5703293 Vianney McCracken (Undisclosed)


Opposed to the proposed development of Woolworths & additional retail/residential buildings in Mosman. The site’s size will destroy the village environment characteristic of the area. Increased traffic along Military Rd will increase congestion. Mosman does not need a major supermarket. Keep this beautiful area as a village.


83 5703294 Isobel Kerridge (Mosman)


Pro-forma submission (see submission #4) and; Mosman is already serviced with 2 Woolworths and a Coles in the local vicinity.

Pro-forma submission (see submission #4) and; Any large scale supermarket development in Mosman village would not be in the best interest of the Mosman community, nor be consistent with planning priorities 2, 3, 6, 8 of the draft LSPS.


90 5703518 Thomas Frank & Family (Undisclosed)


Opposed Woolworths plans for Mosman. Large developments, such as Woolworths, do not fit into this village and will destroy its beauty and character, and should not go ahead. Mosman Club building is not past its use by date.


Housing Encourage Council to produce a plan that stops large scale developments with principles that allow sensible renewal and modernity without large scale blocks and high rises.

Within the draft LSPS, housing is addressed in Planning Priorities 5 and 6. MLEP 2012 facilitates a diversity of housing types, permitting a scale of development ranging from two to five storeys depending on site location. Housing need in Mosman will be considered in further detail in a local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020.

No

91 5703567 Keryn Mar (Undisclosed)


Opposed to the prospect of Woolworths trying to establish multi-storey apartments block and a supermarket due to increased traffic, deterioration of the village culture and risk to local businesses, which will change the face of the village and threaten the environment. There are no shortages of supermarkets in the area which are already established and very easy to access from Mosman.


92 5703650 John and Dianne Gleeson (Undisclosed)


The draft LSPS captures the main concerns of the community and the vision is spot on. We like the “village feel” lifestyle with the small speciality shops offering a great diversity. Opposed to a proposed development the size of the one being considered by Woolworths - it is out of character and there’s access to adequate shops in Mosman and nearby.


Traffic & Transport

Concerned about over development of Mosman and traffic congestion, particularly around Belmont Rd, Military Rd and Gouldsbury St.

The Woolworths development will have a profound effect on the established way of life of residents. The main street stores in Mosman provide services and a place for the residents to chat, establish relationships and be happy. Woolworths would change that forever, the community would no longer build relationships with shop keepers and there would be a negative social effect.


95 5703929 Anna Booty (Mosman)



96 5704006 Dawn J (Undisclosed)


Against any development by Woolworths. The development will change our neighbourhood and village atmosphere, it will be dangerous to have the traffic and other associated nuisances, right on the doorstep of a High School.


97 5704008 Helen Kirkman (Mosman)


Opposed to a Woolworths Supermarket in Mosman. Mosman is already well serviced by supermarkets and by fresh produce providers. There is already too much traffic congestion. Need to support local businesses. Invite investors, broaden reach, think outside the box, get advice from other progressive councils. Loss of community connection can result in growth of mental illness. Need to provide opportunities for all the members of our community (e.g. open air restaurants, coffee bars, meeting places, encourage later trading, etc.). Many local businesses have closed. The village atmosphere is what people most want and must be preserved.

Opposed to the development of a supermarket on Military Road due to traffic congestion and extra trucks and noise in the area. Supermarkets at Bridgepoint and Mosman Junction service Mosman. We have many small shops as well, a Woolworths would destroy the village feel.


106 5704635 David Schmidt-Lindner (Mosman)



107 5704671 Annie Wicks (Undisclosed)


Opposed to Woolworths because: • Emotional health of us residents who have a connection to Mosman Village. • It does not encourage a walking lifestyle. • Increased traffic and congestion on already congested roads. • No need – Mosman is already adequately serviced by supermarkets and smaller shops. • Impact on local shopkeepers.


108 5704898 Judith Chapple (Mosman)


Object to Woolworths proposal as it would: • Be detrimental to sense of community and village atmosphere. • Increase traffic, congestion and create multiple traffic problems. • Force small shops to close, resulting in less people visiting Mosman Junction. • Be against community interests. Residents have not had adequate time to discuss proposal. Support council introducing planning controls to only allow small shops.


109 5704912 Ross & Joanne McMillan (Mosman)


Object to the Woolworths development proposal as is at odds with Council's LSPS. Planning priorities seek to allow development that supports infrastructure and liveability. Already heavy traffic congestion, in particular on Military and Belmont Roads, will worsen. Council planning priorities should promote good outcomes for facilities and services. Existing

supermarkets in Mosman and smaller shops provide adequate levels of service locally, with alternatives in nearby suburbs. The current streetscape is sympathetic to the area's historic character and will be lost. Planning Priority 7 states the need to preserve scale and historic character on Military Road. High-rise residential/ commercial developments between Spit and Mosman Junctions will mar the quality of Military Rd. The Productivity priority focuses on access to, from and within Mosman. The Woolworths proposal can only exacerbate our village road network access issues. Encourage Council to limit or even prevent large retail stores like Woolworths from destroying this suburb.

Object to plans for a Woolworths on Military Rd. Military Rd is already congested and this will worsen.

Housing Generally supportive of the draft MLSPS. Some concerns regarding preserving character. LSPS recognises the importance of maintaining historic amenity, however, Council is failing to protect the renowned Federation period housing in R2 zones, eroding local character. LSPS should feedback to State planning instruments to ensure authority is given to Council’s DCP. Recommend additional action under planning priority 5 (e.g. “Undertake a review of Council’s LEP and DCP to ensure that the local character of housing in Mosman is maintained, and that the design of new houses is compatible with the surrounding character”).

Within the draft LSPS, housing is addressed in Planning Priorities 5 and 6, and heritage conservation within Planning Priority 8. Mosman Residential DCP 2012 identifies 22 townscape areas defined by neighbourhood character (this is comprised of a variety of elements including topography, landscape, streetscape, subdivision pattern and built form) and heritage conservation areas (as identified in the LEP). Each have specific building design controls depending on their location and character. Action 2 of PP2 is to consider the approaches for integrating local character into land use planning outlined in the NSW Government’s Local Character and Place Guideline (Feb 2019), and review existing townscape

Housing Greatest 20 year planning opportunity is the ability to meet demand for low-maintenance medium density homes. Council states there is sufficient potential in current zoning, however, this does not factor in reluctance of owners to sell or redevelop. Supply doesn’t meet demand under current zoning. Encourage addressing this issue with greater density zoning and development standards around transport, village amenities and Balmoral Beach.

Housing capacity modelling undertaken in 2017 found that there is the capacity for at least 1,886 additional dwellings within existing business and medium density zones of MLEP 2012, more than sufficient to meet Mosman’s current dwelling targets of 300 additional dwellings by July 2021, and for a similar target for the next five-year period. This issue will be addressed in further detail in Mosman’s local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020.

Object to Woolworths development intention in Mosman Village as they are not acting in the community’s interest, will send small shops out of business, will threaten the safety of school children and pedestrians, and increase traffic and congestion.

Pro-forma submission (see submission #4) and; Woolworths would destroy the high street and losing the RSL club would be disappointing.


191 5710447 Rick Jenkins (Mosman)


Not opposed to a large-scale supermarket, such as a Woolworths, in Mosman Junction/Village in a controlled and managed way. A large-scale retail outlet will enhance the local character and improve residential amenity. The additional car parking will be welcomed. Existing shops in Mosman are expensive and have second rate service. Driving to supermarkets outside of Mosman can take 40 minutes during congestion.


192 5710448 Ian Jamieson (Undisclosed)


Opposed to a large national supermarket chain in Mosman Village (e.g. Woolworths or Coles) as it would destroy village amenity. Support Council implementing planning controls to limit the size of retail premises in Mosman Village.


193 5710449 Belinda Macartney (Undisclosed)


Strongly oppose a large company ( Woolworths Pty Ltd) undertaking a large- Scale development near two local schools. Large development in our local area is preposterous. Traffic on Military Rd is already too congested to consider an additional major development. Children and elderly safety should be a priority.


194 5710450 Ivan Rajkovic (Undisclosed)


Strongly object to allowing Woolworths to set up in Mosman and destroy small businesses and the village feeling. Roads will not be able to cope with increased traffic and it would be very detrimental to the village environment and feel. Woolworths is unnecessary as there are large supermarkets within a short distance of Mosman.

Vehemently opposed to the allowance of large scale retail development (such as a Woolworths) in the lower Military Rd shopping precinct. It would destroy small local retailers that make the village. The traffic, noise, loss of visual and village amenity would be untenable (comparable to the impact of the Avenue Rd BP). Military Rd at Gouldsbury St is already heavily congested.

Traffic & Transport

Study the impact of driverless cars on road design and include learnings into new design criteria e.g. jay walking, parking, pedestrian crossings. Plan for the increase demand for vehicle electric charging in commercial retail parking bays, private parking (requires electrical upgrades of residences), on street charging. Further increase cycle paths proposed with a cycle path from Mosman Bay to Cremorne Junction. Upgrade the main pathways so that they are not only suitable for recreation but also for commuting - i.e. not muddy.

Planning Priority 9 identifies many Council initiatives in transport, noting that there is likely to be further improvement in this space over the next few years with the potential for autonomous vehicles and further expansion of the share economy. Action 2 of PP9 is to provide a regulatory framework that facilitates flexibility to provide for changes in transport technologies such as share bikes, e-scooters, car sharing and ultimately autonomous vehicles, that ensures maximum benefit to the community. Mosman has a number of scenic and well graded cycling routes, including a regional route linking Mosman to North Sydney and Manly.

Object to any proposal by Woolworths for development of the block of Belmont, Gouldsbury and Military Rd based on the impact of increased traffic that would occur from shoppers and delivery trucks.

241 5710858 Andrew and Anna Bird (Mosman)


Strongly object to any development by Woolworths as it would contradict most LSPS objectives, including maintaining the village character of Mosman, supporting development with infrastructure, dealing with traffic congestion and concentrating commercial activity at Spit Junction. It would be the demise of more shops in the Village and lead to vacancies. Mosman is adequately serviced by nearby supermarkets and there is not forecast to be more population growth therefore no desire for a large supermarket in Mosman Village.


242 5710859 Kim and Rose Freeman (Mosman)


Not opposed to a large-scale supermarket, such as a Woolworths, in Mosman Junction/Village. It would not adversely affect the local character or residential amenity. Traffic congestion could be ameliorated by careful traffic and parking planning. It is not reasonable to assume it would reduce shops. It would create a competitive shopping environment for residents. Do not support Council changing planning controls to limit the size of retail premises in Mosman Junction/Village.

Housing In 2036 only 75% of the population will still live in Mosman, care needs to be taken to account for future residents when setting such long-term visions. Strategy does not address issue of empty-nesters and downsizers. Council needs to ensure there is sufficient capacity in retirement facilities and address the need for preventative health programs.

Council is required to prepare the draft LSPS with a 20 year vision, however to review it every seven years. Planning Priority 5 addresses Mosman’s housing diversity, ageing population, and ageing in place. Planning Priority 3 addresses community service and facilities available to support Mosman’s population.

Yes – New paragraphs included in Planning Priority 5 about the diversity of housing supporting Mosman’s older population

Other Mosman support services operated by volunteers, what is the plan to ensure adequate services that account for increased demand? Need to ensure that people with limited mobility are planned for with footpaths and crossing that are mobility friendly. Mosman High School relies on 600 enrolments outside the municipality. Concerns that if the school becomes more dependent on external enrolments it would be targeted for State Govt. asset recycling. Issues associated with the municipality’s school aged children is not adequately covered in the strategy statement.

Council delivers a wide range of support services for children, families, young people, older residents, and those with a disability in Mosman. Services are regularly reviewed to ensure demand is met. See Planning Priority 3. Council is guided by accessibility audits and strategy, including the Disability Inclusion Action Plan and Pedestrian Access Mobility Plan, to ensure good access within Mosman.

has advised of a major infrastructure project at Mosman High School that will include new core facilities, upgraded classrooms, removal of demountables and air conditioned facilities. This project is currently within the planning stage of its lifecycle. In regards to children, the draft LSPS notes the services and facilities available in Mosman (schools, child care, youth centre, playgrounds etc). Planning Priorities 1, 3 and 14 relate to planning for infrastructure, community services and facilities, playgrounds and open space. Advice from DET is that there is currently sufficient accommodation capacity in Mosman’s public schools to meet local enrolment demand, and it will continue to monitor this.


Make renewable energy an active component of the plan. Council could install solar panels of the roof of the council chambers and depot. Proactively support electric cars by installing charging stations in the Bridgepoint and Vista Street carparks.

Refer to response to submission #39 and #232. Refer to response to submission #39 and #232.


A 500 square metre cap on floor space seems naive. Existing retailers such as Aldi, Harris Farms and IGA would fall foul of the new guideline and would not have been able to establish at Bridgepoint. Council could propose mitigating measures to Woolworths development, such as period-style designing or retaining facades, containment of retail floorspace size to a commercially viable area, limit the car park size to prevent gridlock. Concept of village may be used incorrectly in the plan. It is difficult to define what the village concept entails and how will it be supported in the future when the closest village precinct would be the Mosman Civic Centre area.


Traffic & Transport

Council needs to prepare for opening of Beaches Tunnel. Number of vehicles crossing the Spit Bridge will reduce from 64,000 to 30,000. Less lanes of traffic needed. Opportunity to improve accessibility, relinquish clearways and no right turns, create more kerbside parking and improve cycle lanes.

The development would be an overdevelopment of the site, the bulk and street face would be inconsistent with the village atmosphere. Extra supermarkets are not needed as there are already three supermarkets in Mosman and three in Neutral Bay. It will put more pressure on the existing small shopkeepers. Additional traffic would add significantly to already very busy Military and Belmont Roads and pose a danger to pedestrians and children.

Economy & Tourism

The use of the B1, B2, B3 and B4 zones in the LEP should be reviewed to change the zoning of Spit Junction to B3 to provide a clear separation from Mosman Junction; and provide for clear employment growth opportunities in B4 and B3 zones by making all commercial development permissible.

Planning Priority 11 relates to local businesses. Action 1 is to consider the range of business activities that occur in Mosman to ensure that planning controls are responsive to innovation and change. Land zoning within Mosman’s three local centres and the Military Road corridor is addressed in the Council report.

Introduce a provision to limit the size of retail premises in B2 and B1 zones to 500 sq metres to respect the “village” and “heritage” character of these areas.


Traffic & Transport

Undertake a transport/traffic study to look for solutions to the increasing traffic problems in Mosman - particularly Military Road – including limiting large trucks near schools and through residential areas and increasing parking opportunities.



Provide ongoing protection of the Foreshore Scenic Protection Areas (Permanent Housing Code Exclusion). Seek a review of the Bushfire policy to limit the size of the Bushfire Hazard Zone and to remove or limit 10/50 provisions. Prioritise the protection of unmade roads (convert to zone E2, create policy to not allow privatisation) and continue to acknowledge the outstanding bush regeneration / bush care programs.

Planning Priority 13 addresses the need for ongoing protection of land within the Scenic Protection Area, including permanent exclusion from the Housing Code and Medium Density Code of the Codes SEPP.

Other Fully support the vision of future Mosman presented in the strategy. Obstacles to impose the vision to some developers, particularly approvals by certifiers. Suggest Council puts a submission to the State Government recommending certifiers must fully conform to Councils' regulations and LEP.

Building regulation and certification are important parts of the NSW planning system. The 2015 Independent Review of the Building Professionals Act 2005, also known as the Lambert Review, raised concerns about private certifier and the integrity of the system. Some improvements have been made but more can be done to ensure that certifiers will provide services without prejudice, and that decisions made are robust and independent.

Alarmed by and strongly oppose a possible Woolworths on Military Rd, it is inconsistent with above priorities. It would put pressure on infrastructure, bring more traffic to already congested roads, worsen traffic parking and transport, attract pests and vermin, bring construction disruptions, destroy local character, resident amenity and heritage character. Woolworths would have a significant environmental impact with waste production, and electricity and water usage.


423 5714370 Robyn Singleton (Mosman)


Large-scale development of any type in the Mosman Village area must be stopped.

It is essential to protect, maintain & enhance the natural beauty and landform of Mosman, including foreshore land and bushland. To create sporting facilities that attract participants from all over will add to the traffic congestion already experienced in Mosman, affecting liveability.

Open spaces are important – need to embrace technologies to expand sporting areas (artificial turf, lighting, multi-use etc.). Of most importance is updating Plans of Management (PoMs) to reflect changing time and stakeholder desires. They are highly prescriptive and must be updated to deliver LSPS PP’s e.g. PoMs don’t allow evening recreation. Balmoral PoM is approaching 20 years old.

Planning Priority 14 addresses land and water-based recreation. The challenge of managing open space with competing demands and limited land supply is noted, as is the importance of efficient management. Action 1 is to prepare new and revised Plans of Management.

No

Housing Council should not allow the trend of consolidating multi-dwelling housing or lots into a single extra-large single dwelling. Ensure planning controls don’t dictate monotony and ensure that architecture of various styles is permitted when undertaken tastefully.

Whilst not common, this does occur in Mosman, and is a challenge in land use planning particularly as Sydney’s population is growing and all councils must provide for additional housing. This matter may be considered as part of the local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020.

No

Economy & Tourism

Generally supportive of objectives. Jobs can only be delivered in an environment of light regulation and commercial encouragement. The Esplanade is under-utilised. With adequate lighting, more activities/events the area could be more utilised and more accessible. Over regulation stifles PP 3, 6, 9, 10 and 12. E.g. Boatshed spent 4 years and $200,000 to deliver $780,000 that improved waterway access and enhanced a socially connected venue. Red tape gets in the way of these priorities.

Planning Priority 11 relates to business uses and the economy. Action 1 will consider the range of business activities that occur within the municipality. Actions 2 and 3 relate to delivering initiatives that promote night life in Mosman, that support the night time economy, and support events that contribute to the local economy and celebrate Mosman’s unique identity and heritage. Additionally, Action 1 of Planning Priority 14 is to prepare new and revised Plans of Management, including for Balmoral.

Gravely concerned over proposed large-scale retail development planned by Woolworths. The size is huge and out of scale and contrary to existing local character. It will undermine small businesses, affect the unique streetscape, create traffic congestion and chaos.

Opposed to a large-scale supermarket, such as a Woolworths, in Mosman/Junction. It would be inconsistent with the community village spirit and history of the area. It would increase traffic worsening congestion and endangering nearby sensitive uses (schools, parks, etc.). The benefits would not outweigh the costs and there would be a reduction in retail diversity. If it is to be considered request extensive consultation, comprehensive traffic report including management of deliveries. Would consider a small-scale Woolworths store.

Opposed to Woolworths due to concerns regarding traffic and loss of village character/atmosphere.


Other Important to ensure the final decision regarding local matters and land use rests with the Mosman Council and not State Government. Mosman Council must engage better with stakeholders on local land use, parking (sensors), infrastructure, community centres, roads and traffic. Currently Council is out of touch. Concerns about Mosman Duty Planner and having to be on ‘right side’ of duty planner.

Council is bound by State and Commonwealth legislation in land use management. Within the draft LSPS, Planning Priority 2 is to work together with Government agencies and other stakeholders to promote good outcomes for Mosman. A Community Participation Plan has been prepared by Council and reported to the November 2019 Council Meeting for adoption. This outlines Council’s consultation on statutory land use planning matters. Council’s Community Engagement Strategy details consultation on other matters. Council provides a Duty Planner service weekdays 8.30-10.30am where customers can discuss any planning enquiry. Typical enquiries include what landowners can build on their land, concerns about development on a neighbouring property, and understanding State and local planning policy. Information

Additional traffic generated by Woolworths would inhibit the road network, particularly for buses that service the area.

Housing Appreciate tendency for mixed use building (shop-top housing). Long and thin building designs are poky, use of light wells above 1 floor unpleasant. We would like a greater variety of housing types and sizes, and tenures, and a greater variety of retail (different sizes). Four storeys along Military Road, could be taller if stepped back.

Planning Priority 6 is to ensure that building design and construction is of high quality, and maintains resident amenity. Action 1 is to consider planning controls within MLEP 2012 and DCPs to ensure high quality construction and design. MLEP 2012 facilitates a broad range of housing types, such as semis, detached dwelling houses, multi dwelling housing, shop-top housing, and the like. This is noted in Planning Priority 5.

601 5712029 Macken Planning Solutions, on behalf of owner 2-6 Spit Road and 645-658 Military Road

Housing Support the main priorities outlined in the Statement, however, believe Council should have greater ambition for its community. Environmental and historical built form is the main constraint for housing and employment. Need for greater density development, particularly at Spit Junction. Recommend taller building heights (e.g. at least max. height of 21m; 7-9 storeys) to encourage growth. Consider outlining timetable for finalisation of the new LEP for the community. Should aim for more than a 0.3% p.a. population increase. Limited growth in housing will undermine economic and social vitality. Consider easing controls on the provision of ‘granny flats’ and supporting other housing formats such as seniors housing, key worker, build to rent, smaller lot size, etc.

Within Spit Junction, the current maximum permitted building height under MLEP 2012 is 15 metres (5 storeys) with a maximum permitted floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.5:1, although a FSR incentives clause in the LEP (clause 4.4B) allows an FSR up to 3:1 to encourage the amalgamation of sites and good design. There is the capacity for development within the centre, as many existing buildings are well below the allowable height limit at two storeys. For the reasons given in the Council report, amending MLEP 2012 land to facilitate greater density is not supported at this time.

Strongly object to the proposed Woolworths development. It will destroy the village character, have a significant visual impact, increase traffic and congestion and threaten the livelihood of many small local businesses.


629 5718269 Thérèse Burnett (Mosman)


Object to Woolworths as proposed location is not suitable due to traffic, heavy vehicle access and restricting access to the zoo and beaches. Would be more suitable on a main road (i.e. Spit/Military Rd Corridor).

Traffic & Transport

Traffic is increasingly negatively impacting on the liveability of Mosman.



Very opposed to a Woolworths, or other large retailer, in Mosman Village or Spit Junction due to increased traffic congestion and parking issues. Community's needs are well met with shops in Mosman and nearby suburbs. If increasing population requires, shops should be tucked away (like at Bridgepoint), retaining the character/period facades of Mosman.

Enhance urban canopy by choosing trees that will not result in vandalism from neighbours, plan street trees that do not interfere with services and underground wires to avoid unsightly pruning. Make Council permission required for pruning trees on public land and must be performed by approve arborists. Recreation facility upgrades should be environmentally sustainable (no artificial turf). Do not compromise ecological integrity. Stormwater and grey water should be harvested to irrigate parks. Encourage more frequent cleaning of stormwater pits. Protect bushland as it creates heat relief for surrounding areas. Existing paths should be maintained and upgrading before installing new paths. New paths should not compromise bushland.

Housing Local Housing Strategy should consider balance between built and natural environment, numbers not the only consideration, where suitable smaller dwelling units may be more desirable than single large dwelling.




Planning controls could be developed to enhance Mosman’s village character. Street characteristics could be better maintained with addition LEP and DCP provisions.

648 5722750 HDC (Haskew de Chalain) Planning – on behalf of landowners of 40-60 Ourimbah Rd, 24 Bond St and 29 & 31 Rosebery St.

Housing Seek to initiate a Planning Proposal to amend Mosman LEP 2012 for 13 properties (40-60 Ourimbah Rd, 24 Bond St and 29 & 31 Rosebery St) to increase the max. permitted building height and floor space ratio to facilitate a greater density of housing on the land, as follows: - Increase building height from 8.5 metres to 15 metres,

and - Increase floor space ratio from 0.7:1 to 2:1. The site is already zoned R3 Medium Density Housing. The proposal would be suitable and is not limited by site constraints. It would be consistent with state strategic planning, and would bring about significant urban renewal and amenity improvements.

The subject site is located on the southern side of Ourimbah Road between Bond and Rosebery Streets. The current zoning, maximum permitted building height and FSR of the site reflects Council’s long-established residential strategy. Within Mosman’s R3 zoned lands, there are four levels of density depending on proximity to Spit-Military Roads and Spit Junction – FSR 0.55:1, 0.6:1 or 0.7:1, with height 8.5m,

and FSR 1:1 with height 11m. The subject site currently has the second highest density level at 0.7:1, suitable to its location. The highest density level is typically only applied to land along S-M Roads. The FSR and height increase requested in this submission is beyond Council’s density grading for R3 zoned land. For the reasons given in the Council report, amending MLEP 2012 land to facilitate greater density is not supported at this time. Housing need in Mosman will be considered in further detail in a local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020.

Slacklining community is growing and would like to develop a policy for slacklining with Council to encourage access. Consistent with objective 31 of Greater Sydney Region Plan. Recommended to include priority to support a variety of recreational and passive uses that reflect the changing needs of the community when planning for existing and new open space.

Planning Priority 14 relates to land and water-based recreation. The use of open space is managed under Council’s Open Space and Recreational Needs Assessment, and Open Space Asset Management Plan.

618 5715311 Shelter NSW Housing A detailed submission urging Council to research the levels of housing stress in the LGA and recognise the need for affordable housing (AH) and how it is critical social and economic infrastructure. Specifically, the submission seeks that the LSPS be amended to: Include reference to the Liveable Housing Guidelines Strengthen language to ensure the built environment

and amenity are designed to be universally accessible, and be more explicit about a commitment to social diversity;

Remove actions to maximise public car parking and increase parking required for medium density housing;

State that the local housing strategy will consider the need for AH including specific targets;

Commit that any action seeking the permanent exclusion of parts of the LGA from the Medium Density Code is tied to detailed planning strategies regarding how Mosman Council will regulate infill development;

Add actions for Council to investigate/develop/undertake: o an AH strategy; o an AH contribution scheme under SEPP 70 for

Spit Junction and Military Road Corridor; o exemption from section 7.11 and/or section 7.12

contributions for AH development led by a Community Housing Provider (CHP);

o other planning mechanisms to facilitate the delivery of AH (e.g. VPA’s, 7.11 contributions).

o further advocacy to NSW and Australian Govt’s for more social and AH

o tackle AH issues at the metro and regional level.

The availability of, and options for, housing for very-low, low and moderate income households in Mosman will be further considered as part of the local housing strategy to be reported to Council in 2020. Opportunities to collaborate with other North District councils, and with the NSW Government, will be explored. The North District Plan identifies the need for further work by the Greater Sydney Commission and NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to support mechanisms for the delivery of AH. Within the draft LSPS, Planning Priority 5 responds to housing. It notes that options for AH in Mosman will be considered within a broader District context in collaboration with North District Councils, and further explored in the local housing strategy. Action 3 of PP5 is to collaborate with North District Councils to consider options for AH in the District, and advocate to the NSW Government for a district and/or regional-wide approach to AH.

Yes – Minor amendment to Planning Priority 5 to note that options for AH in Mosman will be considered in collaboration with North District Councils, and further explored in the local housing strategy. Also to expand on Action 3 re advocate to the NSW Government for a district and/or regional-wide approach to AH, and remove reference to key workers so as to not limit the scope of consideration.

Question / Comment Key Issue/s Response by Council (given at the public meeting)

M1 Not Stated

Didn't notice any information in the LSPS about larger retail development in Mosman. Can you please provide an update on the Woolworths development?


There is a market for large retailers including supermarkets and bulky good distributors seeking to open large stores, some of which would like to open in Mosman. Council is investigating limiting the size of retail stores to a maximum size of 500m2. Generally supermarkets are much larger than this, although it recognised that some supermarket retailers may have some stores this small. If a developer acquires land for a supermarket in Mosman's B2 Local Centre zones, it is a permissible use and would be approved subject to a Development Application. Council has a responsibility to assess these developments in accordance with planning controls and without bias. There is a strong appetite to preserve a very bespoke and granular character in Mosman. Limiting the size of retail stores to 500m2 would assist in balancing the impact of larger retail stores, however, this has only been done by one other Sydney council. This outcome can not be guaranteed, especially considering our changes to Mosman's LEP are subject to Department of Planning approval.

stated) sustainability with the demand for and expansion of sporting/recreational facilities?

Sustainability they are blunt instruments that are unresponsive and take a long time to amend. One of the ways planning does manage open space is through land use zones including the public recreation zone used for parks and ovals, and the environmental conservation zones for bushland. An action that Council will be working on is updating Plans of Management for crown reserves in Mosman. Council is mindful of its environmental stewardship responsibility and manages its recreational facilities in accordance with sound sustainability practices. Matters such as this are therefore managed by Council's Open Space Team.

M3 Michael Lynch (Mosman)

There are a number of plans of management that need to updated. When will these PoM's begin to updated?


Modest funding has been provided to Council to update Plans of Management by the State Government. We are anticipating that a majority of the PoMs will be undertaken over the next 3 years. As there is a robust statutory process to consulting and introducing new PoMs we are anticipating around 3 per year will be completed over this period.

M4 Not Stated

What can Council do to protect Mosman's historic character and streetscapes from new developments that replace historic but non-heritage protected buildings?

Heritage If buildings are not protected by a heritage conservation area or heritage listed Council has limited powers to stop the demolition of buildings. Although a property may be old and exhibit some heritage values, Council must be very selective in what properties are listed and already has an extensive inventory in the LEP.

What can Council do to stop complying development approved by private certifiers that has little regard for Council's planning controls?

Other Complying development and private certification is permitted under State policies administered by the Department of Planning. The current indication from the Department of Planning is that private certification will be retained, however, certifiers will be subject to stricter scrutiny. In Mosman there are good examples and bad examples of private certification, and it is unfortunate that the bad examples often overshadow the benefits of good private certification.

M5 Alfredo Bustos-Ramirez (Mosman)

Concerns over private certification resulting in buildings that are unsafe or that are not aligned with Mosman's character. Recommend the community writing a submission to State Government to demonstrate community opposition towards the matter.

Other Council takes this matter seriously and has been expanding its compliance team to ensure that any complaints are comprehensively investigated. Recently we have seen more focus on private certification with issues such as combustible cladding and structural defects in the media. This may see a push for increased regulation of private certification by the State Government.

M6 Brian Watters (Mosman)

The LSPS is a chance for Council to pushback on the State Government. In terms of historic character and non-heritage historic buildings being removed, local character is being impacted. The aim for Mosman should be to protect these historic buildings even further to stop the widespread demolition of such buildings.

Heritage [No response given at public meeting]

With the tunnel planned for, Council should be proactively demanding downscaling of the traffic density of Military Rd by reducing the amount of lanes for cars, increasing bicycle and walking paths and generally improving the character of the road corridor.

Council needs to be careful to not encourage rat-running if the new tunnel is built

M7 Richard Corbett (Mosman)

Concerns that the 300 new dwelling target for Mosman is not enough. Mosman needs to provide more dwellings to ensure it is sharing the load of Sydney's growing population equally.When are we going to see population growth in Mosman? Sydney's population is growing too fast, what is Council's policy on population growth? Will Council

lobby the State and Federal Government for a desirable population growth outcome? We shouldn't be opposing the Medium Density Code as it provides good policy to diversify housing stock that meets the needs of the community. The creates street program in London provides a good example of an initiative that retains historic character, balanced with increase housing density. Make Mosman's facilities such as beaches, parks, reserves, etc. more accessible to Greater Sydney.


[No response given at public meeting]

M8 High Williams (Mosman)

More attention should be given to site specific issues when determining zoning development potential of an area. For example, many R3 properties on Spit Rd are serviced by small lanes which are not compatible with larger R3 style development.

Housing Council will be looking at the objectives for the zones, however, it is unlikely that any areas would be down zoned to a lower density. Our objectives will be complimented by robust assessment that ensure site specific issues are adequately considered.
