Make a Waterloo South Submission by 29 April 2022
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 21, 2022 03:44 PM
Members of the Community are encouraged to make a submission on the Waterloo South Planning Proposal. In doing so it is important that they respond to what is actually on exhibition rather than to the lower density proposal indicated by the support material circulated as part of the exhibition.
Council Submission on Waterloo South
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 21, 2022 03:42 PM
This is a copy of the submitted version of the City of Sydney Council Waterloo South submission. A simple summary can be found in the Council presentation to REDWatch on April 7. This is an important read for anyone making a submission as Council identified that the density (number of dwellings) being disclosed by the DPE Planning Proposal Authority was in fact the minimum likely to be delivered and that the 10% allowed for the design excellence increase is to be additional rather than capped within the stated floor space. The likely outcome is expected to be between 3300 and 3400 depending on unit size not the 3012 referred to in the exhibition material. The increase in the size of the development only became public at the beginning of April as a result of the Council analysis. The PPA continue to use the lower minimum dwelling numbers in their presentations. Council in their draft submission have said this increase in density has not been properly disclosed or tested and Council have questioned if the increase will fit within the planning envelopes exhibited. There is no assessment for example of the impact of the PPE proposal on streets, parks and courtyards. People making submission are encouraged to also read the Council submission rather than take the exhibited material at face value.
Need for a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) for waterloo South
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 21, 2022 02:02 PM
This submission has been made by Alison Ziller to DPE regarding the Waterloo South Planning Proposal. Alison is a specialist in SIAs and teaches a specialist social impact assessment course as part of Macquarie’s planning degrees. Alison has made her submission available early to help those making submissions understand the importance and role of a SIA. In her submission Alison Ziller points out that Council check list required an ‘outline of likely impacts’ on relevant communities and ‘a plan to reduce negative impacts’ but that Council then accepted the Social Sustainability Report LAHC had already prepared even though it did not include this analysis. As a result issues which would normally central to a SIA were not undertaken and the potential negatiuve impacts were not assessed or proposals for mitigation advanced. Alison Ziller's submission requests the Planning Proposal Authority to undertake a SIA before determining the planning proposal.
Council Presentation to REDWatch on Waterloo South Planning Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 21, 2022 01:52 PM
On Thursday 7 April 2022 Council staff presented their analysis of the Waterloo South planning proposal to a REDWatch meeting. The analysis compares the exhibited proposal to the Council's proposal prior to modification by the Department of Planning. One of the major take outs was that the exhibited proposal was 10% larger than the community has been lead to believe and that the changes to the proposal including the impact of the extra 10% had not been assessed or disclosed in the in the documents used to explain the planning proposal. The key elements of the Council submission are summarised in this presentation and are important reading for those making submissions about Waterloo South.
Safety Considerations in Waterloo South Planning Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 21, 2022 11:52 AM
The following analysis has been provided by a safety consultant to help people to help people understand the safety and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) issues raised by the Waterloo South Planning Proposal. IMPORTANT UPDATE - DPE advised the Waterloo Redevelopment Group on 20 April 2022 that they were commissioning a CPTED study on the proposal as part of their assessment.
REDWatch Update on Waterloo South Issues - 7 April 2022
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 19, 2022 02:03 PM
This REDWatch Update was part of a REDWatch email circulated prior to the REDWatch meeting on 7 April 2022. It sets out REDWatch's concerns about the Waterloo Planning Proposal on exhibition at that date.
Planning Proposal Authority Presentation on Waterloo South
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 19, 2022 01:56 PM
This presentation was made to the Waterloo Neighbourhood Advisory Board's Waterloo Redevelopment Group on 16 March 2022. This presentation was made by representatives from a section of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) that is acting in Council's stead as the Planning Proposal Authority for the Waterloo South Planning Proposal. This presentation is indicative of the presentations shown in online community briefings as part of the Waterloo South exhibition in March and April 2022. It should be noted that it was not until the beginning of April that it became apparent that the figures in this presentation were a minimum and that the 10% increase in gross residential floor space for design excellence provision would likely add between 330 and 384 dwellings to the 3012 dwellings used in this presentation. Those doing submissions are encouraged to read the Council submissions to understand the implications of this increase.
REDWatch on Council's Draft Waterloo South Submission
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 12, 2022 02:41 PM
REDWatch wrote to Councillors of the City of Sydney regarding the draft submission being considered by Council Committee on 4 April 2022. Prior to this being considered by the Council meeting of 11 April 2022, council officers responded to the issues raised. REDWatch responded again to Councillors on 11 April. As a result of this correspondence and discussions between Councillors, Council passed an improved Waterloo South motion moved by the Lord Mayor and seconded by Councillor Sylvie Ellsmore. Below is the text of the original email posted on 4 April, with council officer’s response (in italics) and REDWatch’s reply now inserted (bold italics) as well as the Council Resolution outcome. Hopefully this information will help inform people’s submissions on this project. We have broken the correspondence up by issues for ease of reference.
Unpacking Housing Mix in the Waterloo South Planning Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 07, 2022 05:23 PM
The housing mix materials for the consultation (website, information boards and brochure) explain housing mix based on the number of units or front doors prior to any of the possible 10% floorspace increase from design excellence. The planning proposal itself provides figures by both housing units and the proportion of residential gross floor area prior to uplift. As the average unit sizes of public and affordable housing is smaller than the private housing the proportion of the floor space allocated to social and affordable housing are lower percentages. Here REDWatch unpacks the housing mix figures.
REDWatch Guide to Waterloo South Study planning proposal documents
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 07, 2022 05:04 PM
The Waterloo South planning proposal documents are complex because they contain documents relating to the original LAHC proposal, Council’s proposal, the Gateway determination and then the subsequent additional studies produced by the Planning Proposal Authority that was not Council. They are also complex because the Planning Proposal does not contain all the necessary information in one place and finding the correct information is not straightforward. This document tries to provide guidance through these documents so the reader can find the information they are looking for as easily as possible.
Floor Space Ratios (FSRs) for Waterloo South Planning Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 07, 2022 04:00 PM
The main Planning Proposal document does not contain the proposed Floor space rations (FSRs) proposed. The FSR map can be found on page 135 of the Hassell Addendum to the urban design report or spread across two pages of the draft LEP Cadastre maps. We have extracted the FSR map from the Hassell Addendum to the urban design report to make it more easily accessible. Please note these are the FSR's before the 10% increase allowable if design excellence is achieved. The 10% bonus increases the number of dwellings over the base 3012 which is calculated before the 10% bonus if achieved.
