Have Your Say Canterbury Bankstown
Consultation has concluded
In 2019, Council released Connective City 2036, which establishes a single strategic planning vision for the Canterbury Bankstown Local Government Area, and will guide any changes to our planning framework.
This vision is about sustainably growing our City, protecting environmental values, delivering housing for our next generations and maximising employment opportunities.
The next step is to produce a single set of planning rules for our City based on the vision that was set by Connective City 2036. This is the Consolidated Local Environmental Plan, which combines and aligns planning rules of the former Bankstown and Canterbury Councils.
A planning proposal was endorsed by the Canterbury Bankstown Local Planning Panel to progress to exhibition on 6 March 2020. The planning proposal and supporting technical studies are now on public exhibition for comment and feedback.
This strategy provides mechanisms to ensure Council can contribute to the supply of affordable housing, especially for very low, low and moderate income households.
Draft Amendments to Planning Agreements Policy
Council is proposing an amendment to require the contribution to, or dedication of, affordable housing where planning proposals are seeking uplift in residential densities.
This planning proposal seeks to produce a single set of planning rules for our City and to implement key actions of current land use strategies.
The timeline to exhibit and complete the planning proposal is set by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment.
Guides the types and location of 41,000 new jobs across business and industrial zones to 2036.
The draft strategy proposes to provide certainty for the existing community and to ensure future population growth and housing needs are sustainably accommodated.
