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.
