At its meeting of 11 February 2019, Council considered a Planning Proposal at 871-877 Pacific Highway Chatswood.

Amendments to Willoughby Local Environmental Plan 2012:

The purpose of the Planning Proposal is to amend zoning, height and floor space ratio applicable to the site under Willoughby Local Environmental Plan 2012 to facilitate the construction of a mixed use development in response to the Chatswood CBD Planning and Urban Design Strategy 2036 (the CBD Strategy). In particular the following amendments are proposed for the site:

  • Rezone from B5 Business Development to B4 Mixed Use
  • Increase height from 21m to 90m
  • Increase floor space ratio from 2.5:1 to 6:1.

requiring changes to clauses and maps relating to WLEP 2012.

Refer to Council website link here for the CBD Strategy:

https://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Development/Plan/Planning-Rules/Planning-Strategies#section-4

This is not a development application with detailed plans and associated detailed documentation, however a concept plan and supporting documentation has been submitted indicating a possible redevelopment of the site based on the proposed planning controls and CBD Strategy. Full details are provided in the supporting documentation visible on this page.

Amendments to Willoughby Development Control Plan: The exhibition also includes draft amendments to Willoughby Development Control Plan (WDCP) relating to the site.


Other Details

In accordance with the process for Planning Proposals, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has issued a Gateway Determination which requires that the Planning Proposal be placed on exhibition for 28 days. The Gateway Determination includes authorisation for Willoughby City Council to exercise the functions of the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces under section 3.36(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.


Again, it is emphasized that this is not a development application but the beginning of a process to change the rules applying to this site currently contained in Willoughby Local Environmental Plan 2012.



Exhibition Period: The Planning Proposal and draft WDCP amendments will be on exhibition from Wednesday, 24 March 2021 until Wednesday 21 April 2021 and can be viewed here in the supporting documents visible on this page.
