Planning Proposal - 147 Garnet Road, Kareela

Consultation period: 7 September - 17 October 2022

Council is exhibiting a Planning Proposal for 147 Garnet Rd, Kareela that would allow for Sylvanvale’s headquarters at the site to be rezoned to allow residential flats.

Proceeds from the sale would facilitate construction of supported accommodation for people with disabilities at other locations in Sutherland Shire.

The Planning Proposal also presents the opportunity to better protect the environmental qualities of the site and ensure they are maintained into the future.

This Planning Proposal aims to:

• Rezone the site from SP2 Infrastructure to R2 Low Density Residential
• Apply a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.55:1
• Amend the Height of Buildings limit set for the site from 12 metres to 8.5 metres
• Apply a Landscaped Area requirement set at 50% of the site area
• Include the site on the Terrestrial Biodiversity Map, making it subject to Clause 6.5 Environmentally sensitive land—terrestrial biodiversity
• Add an Additional Permitted Use provision to Schedule 1 of the plan which allows development of Residential flat buildings on this site with:
  • A maximum Building Height of 16 metres
  • A maximum Floor Space Ratio of 0.7:1
  • A 50% Landscaped Area requirement.

In addition, the Sutherland Shire Development Control Plan 2015 will be amended to include site specific provisions appropriate to the future development.
