Planning pathway Community feedback is important and will be used to refine the planning proposal request to be submitted to the City of Sydney
Strategic planning context The proposal: • aligns with the objectives of the Eastern City District Plan, increasing housing supply, choice and affordability and providing access to jobs, services and public transport • supports the City of Sydney’s Local Housing Strategy , delivering more homes, a diverse mix of housing and affordable rental housing, while collaborating with government and non-government partners • creates a better place to live, through new high-quality homes, better pedestrian access, beautified streetscapes and new community facilities in a growing inner Sydney area. The proposed redevelopment is located close to key transport corridors and the city centre
Technical studies The redevelopment proposal is informed by a range of technical studies covering topics such as: • Built form and urban design • Heritage • Environmental amenity • Aboriginal Cultural Heritage • Staging • Social impacts • Transport and accessibility • Water and soils • Environmentally Sustainable Design • Flooding
Proposed Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 • The site is proposed to be subject to a Floor Space Ratio of 2.5

The redevelopment area • About the redevelopment area The redevelopment area: • is at the junction of 4 inner city areas with their own distinct characters and scales Glebe Renewal • is well connected to local services, Area Glebe public transport, education and employment centres • is well served by existing parks Ultimo including Wentworth Park to the north, Victoria Park to the south and Robyn Broadway Kemmis Reserve to the west. The proposed redevelopment area is bound by Glebe, Bay and Franklyn Streets
The design approach 1. The proposal divides the existing estate into three 1 blocks, with a new laneway and two new streets, returning around 25% of the site to public domain. 2. Low-scale perimeter buildings are placed around the edge of each block to define the new laneway and streets. All buildings will have a street address. These perimeter buildings transition in height to reflect the scales and characters of adjoining areas. 3. Taller buildings would be carefully positioned to 3 minimise potential overshadowing of neighbouring properties 2
Proposed maximum building heights • Buildings have been designed to be compatible with surrounding areas with heights ranging from 4 to 14 storeys. The section below shows how the proposed buildings relate to the heights of nearby buildings. • Taller buildings are located towards Ultimo and lower buildings are located towards Glebe to reflect the scale and character of these areas. • Buildings are setback at the upper levels to reduce their scale and presence when viewed from Glebe Street and Franklyn Street.
