Foreshadowed Motion: (Porteous)
THAT Council:
1. Reiterate its support for the planning proposal developed by
Leichhardt Council in 2015 which reduced the FSR to 1:9:1 and reduced the
height to 6-8 storeys as the appropriate intensity of development on this
site;
2. Notes that the current 3:88:1 development application is an
over development of this site and no development of an amendment DCP should
proceed unless the FSR is significantly reduced: and
3. Notes further that the current development application presents
excessive height with the 12 storey towers; excessive retail development
particularly in terms of the 2,888 sqm supermarket which will impact
catastrophically on the local retail shopping high streets in Rozelle and
Balmain and will generate unacceptable traffic congestion.
This Foreshadowed Motion Lapsed.

C1218(1) Item 21 Proposed
Change to the Boarding House Provisions under State Environmental
Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 to
Limit Boarding Houses in the R2 Low Density Residential zone
to a Maximum of 12 Rooms
|
|
Motion: (Macri/Kiat)
THAT:
1. The
report be received and noted; and
2. The
Department of Planning and Environment be forwarded a copy of this report as Council’s response to the consultation and
be advised that:
i. For the
reasons detailed in the report, to ensure that the size and intensity of
boarding house developments are compatible with the R2 Low Density
Residential zone and to ensure that the design of all new boarding houses is
compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding local area, the
limit on the capacity of boarding houses on such zoned land should be based
on the maximum number of residents rather than the maximum number of boarding
rooms.
ii. As
detailed in the report the boarding house provisions in the State
Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 (ARHSEPP) do
not apply to all land zoned R2 Low Density Residential
zone under the Standard Instrument. To address the issues identified in the
report and to ensure that a limit on the size of boarding houses applies to
all land zoned R2 Low Density Residential under the Standard
Instrument—Principal Local Environmental Plan regardless as to whether
or not that land is within an “accessible area”, Clause
5.4 Controls relating to miscellaneous permissible uses should be amended
to include an additional subclause reading as follows:
“(11) Boarding
houses on certain zoned land
If development for the purposes of a boarding house is permitted
under this Plan, the maximum capacity of the boarding house must not exceed
12 lodgers if the boarding house is on land zoned R2 Low Density
Residential.”
iii. The ARHSEPP
provisions relating to boarding houses should be reviewed in a holistic
manner rather than in the ad hoc approach proposed to ensure that a genuinely
affordable housing product results.

Names for Inner West Council Wards
|

the staff process of Aboriginal community engagement; and

the recommendations of the Aboriginal community in Naming of the Council

Foreshadowed Motion (Stamolis)
THAT Council to request a further option for the Aboriginal
naming of Council wards as there has been no proposal put before Council
which has sought to use the original Aboriginal names of the land, nations,
peoples or specific Aboriginal persons; for example Eora, Wangal, Gadigal,
Birrabirragal. A proposal which includes these Aboriginal names or
names of a similar nature would be valuable in assisting Council to make its
decision. Such a proposal will also ensure that Council has considered
those Aboriginal names which were, and still are, used by the first peoples
of our area and how we wish these names to remain at the forefront of the
community consciousness in the Inner West.
This Foreshadowed
Motion Lapsed.
