Overdevelopment
Enough is enough! Overdevelopment is unquestionably the number one issue affecting our community.
ÈÈI have stopped the Manor Houses Code in Ryde, PLUS, I have stopped Council deals with developers Now that we have stopped the code and the deals, Ryde council can update its Local Planning Laws (LEP) to make sure it aligns with community expectations. Sydney’s population is growing by about 100,000 each year. This means we need to build the roads, rail, schools and houses to support this surging population. One way to accommodate this surging population is to encourage medium density, such as duplexes, villas, manor houses and terraces. In November last year the NSW Parliament passed the Medium Density Code that enables a faster approval process for medium density, but only in areas where councils already permit medium density in accordance with its LEP. Ryde Council’s LEP determines where low, medium and high density is permitted and the height permitted. The Council’s LEP determines which areas will be commercial, residential or recreational. When the Code was debated, the NSW Labor Party did not oppose the Code as in its view it was “largely inoffensive”. I imagine it was “largely inoffensive” as Councils could opt out of the Code by simply changing Council’s LEP. Medium density such as large scale villas is not the only issue. We also need
to do something about the proliferation of apartments. To reduce traffic, planners allow increased density around railway lines (eg Macquarie Park and Meadowbank) so that people use more public transport instead of cars. In relation to apartments, Ryde Council can also enter into deals with developers, whereby developers get increased density (above the LEP) in exchange for financial contributions. Below are some examples of such deals: 112 Talavera Rd: Council’s LEP = 30 storeys, however Council voted to support 60 storeys 68 Talavera Rd: Council’s LEP = 10 storeys, however Council voted to support 49 storeys 388 Lane Cove Rd: Council’s LEP = 11 storeys, however Council voted to support 20 storeys There has been a significant increase in developments in Ryde over the past 10 years with all the duplexes, villas and apartments approved. Indeed on 16 May 2018, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on its front page that; ÈÈalmost 75% of the 7,450 new dwellings built in the Ryde council area over the past decade were initiated by the council, with about a quarter arising from the former government’s Part 3A system [eg the Meadowbank developments].
Given all this development, like many of you, I was both alarmed and surprised when I received a letter from Ryde Council indicating that based on Council’s current LEP, over 10,000 properties in Ryde could be subject to Manor Houses when the medium density code is due to commence on 6 July 2018. I was surprised as I had assumed that Ryde Council would have changed its LEP in order to opt out or minimise the impact of the Code on our community. In Ryde Council’s letter to every resident, they were asking to be exempted from the Code. However, with the greatest respect to Ryde Council, this proposal did not go far enough, as it did not deal with excessive villas

or apartments that are being approved under the current LEP, nor does it address Council deals with developers for density above the LEP. I put forward a different proposal to try and tackle the issue of overdevelopment: 1. Freeze the application of the Medium Density Code until Ryde prepares a new LEP in line with community expectations a. LEP review regarding housing density by 1 July 2019 and b. the comprehensive review/new LEP to be completed by 1 July 2020; 2. The NSW government will provide Ryde Council with $2.5m to conduct this urgent and comprehensive review of the entire LEP; 3. The NSW government will prevent Ryde Council from entering into further deals with developers whereby higher density is exchanged for financial contributions; and 4. The Greater Sydney Commission will work with Ryde Council to ensure that Council’s new LEP and housing strategy can be supported by critical infrastructure such as road, schools and parks.
ÈÈ I am pleased to report that I successfully fought for and secured a stop/ freeze of this Code on Ryde to enable Ryde Council with enough time to update its LEP. ÈÈ I am also pleased to report that the General Manager of Ryde Council has in substance agreed with the above proposal. [ii]
Three level solution All levels of government and all sides of politics need to be actively engaged in the overdevelopment debate. Federal government needs to lead a discussion around the surge in our population. On 25 April, 2018 an article on news.com.au reported that: ‘Last year we received nearly 85,000 overseas migrants, with the total population growth in Sydney topping 100,000 for the first time ever’. As the former NSW Minister for Multiculturalism and as a product of immigration (my grandparents settled in Ryde and had a market garden here 83 years ago), I am immensely proud of our diversity in Ryde. Indeed, it is one of our greatest strengths. However, population growth must be supported by infrastructure growth. We need a mature discussion to get this balance right. NSW government needs to make sure that it continues to build the critical infrastructure required to keep up with this population growth eg rail, roads, schools and hospitals. State government also needs to work with council to ensure that zoning is appropriate. Ryde Council needs to make sure that its LEP is up to date and aligned with community expectations. It also needs to put in place traffic management systems in our local streets; eg community car parking, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings, parking signs, etc. My personal view is that we have enough development in the pipeline to last us a very long time. My 4 point solution will essentially provide Ryde with breathing space to enable the critical infrastructure to catch up.
Over the next 5 years, this will include the following NSW Government projects: The North West Metro The $100m bus interchange upgrade at Herring Rd, Macquarie Park 5 new schools and major primary school upgrades The Meadowbank Education Precinct The West Ryde Jobs Park It is also my strong personal view, that the next Ryde Council LEP should significantly curtail any further villa and apartment zonings as we need to see how the development pipeline plays out in the years ahead. In my view Ryde Council’s next LEP should focus on creating employment, parks and green spaces. Later in this Connector, I provide some examples of what might be possible in the new LEP. The preparation of a new LEP is a big job. It is also arguably the most important responsibility of Council as it essentially provides the blueprint for our community. Ryde Council can now focus on the significant community consultation required to get this blueprint right. I will work with Ryde Council and the Greater Sydney Commission over the next 2 years to ensure this blueprint is aligned with community expectations and appropriately supported by critical social infrastructure.

过度开发 – 真是够了 过度开发无疑是本地社区头号问题。 莱德市政府有地方规划规定法则。而市政府批准了大部份莱德市的开发申请。市政府 还可同开发商进入交易，由此开发商获得更多的建筑密度（超出现有规定法律条例）来 交换经济贡献。其中举例说明： 112 Talavera Rd: 地方政府规划规定法则30层，但市政府投票60层 68 Talavera Rd: 地方政府规划规定法则10层，但市政府投票49层 388 Lane Cove Rd: 地方政府规划规定法则11层，但市政府投票20层 莱德市政区域范围过往十年建造的新建筑有近75%是由政府发起的。 我提出议案来解决有关本地过度开发的问题： 1. 冻结中型密度开发申请直到市政府就LEP于2020年7月1日准备完善之时； 2. 新州政府将提供$250万为市政府组织一项全面的LEP检阅； 3. 新州政府将预防市政府与开发商进一步进入交易，以阻止密度换取经济贡献；以 及 4. 大悉尼理事会将与市政府协作保障市政府新的地方规划法则能匹配到关键的基 础设施，如道路、学校和公园。

莱德市政府，应该确保土地规划是与时俱进的，并且与社区民众的期盼是一致的。 我个人看法是现有的开发建设已经足够饱和满足我们非常远久的需求。 新州政府在未来5年将输出关键的基础设施，其中包括： 西北地铁 亿投入巴士中转升级于Herring Rd, Macquarie Park 5所新学校和重点小学升级 Meadowbank教育管辖区 Meadowbank就业园。 我将在接下来的两年协力市政府及大悉尼理事会通力合作，来保障规划的蓝图迎合社 区所需，并保障适合的关键基础设施支持。
부동산 과다 개발 – 해도 해도 너무합니다. 부동산 과다 개발은 저희 커뮤니티에게 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 이슈임에 틀림이 없습니다. 라이드 카운슬은 LEP 라고 불리우는 “지역 도시계획 규정”을 가지고 있습니다. 카운슬은 라이드 지역에 위치한 대부분의 부동산 개발에 허가를 내 주고 있습니다. 카운슬은 또한 부동산 개발회사가 재정적 기여를 하는 대신 증가된 밀집도를 허가받는 방식으로 부동산 개발회사와 합의를 할 수 있습니다. 그런 경우의 예로는 다음이 포함됩니다: 탈라베라 로드 112: 카운슬의 “지역 도시계획 규정”에는 30층으로 되어 있으나 카운슬이 투표해서 60층을 허가했음. 탈라베라 로드 68: 카운슬의 “지역 도시계획 규정”에는 10층으로 되어 있으나 카운슬이 투표해서 49층을 허가했음 레인 코브 로드 388: 카운슬의 “지역 도시계획 규정”에는 11층으로 되어 있으나 카운슬이 투표해서 20층으로 허가했음 지난 10여년 동안 라이드 지역에 지어진 새로운 주택들 중의 거의 75% 가 카운슬에 의해 허가 되었습니다. 저는 부동산 과다 개발에 관한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 다음과 같은 제안을 합니다: 1. 카운슬이 카운슬의 새로운 “지역 도시계획 규정”을 마련할 수 있게 2020년 7월 1 일까지 “중간 수준 밀도 코드” 신청을 동결한다. 2. 카운슬이 “지역 도시계획 규정”을 포괄적으로 재점검하도록 뉴 사우스 웨일즈 주정부는 카운슬에게 2백5십만불을 지원한다. 3. 뉴 사우스 웨일즈 주정부는 카운슬이 재정적 기여를 받는 대신 부동산 개발회사에게 더 높은 밀도를 허용하는 것을 더 이상 하지 못하게 막는다. 4. “광역 시드니 위원회 (Greater Sydney Commission)” 는 카운슬의 새로운 “지역 도시계획 규정”이 도로, 학교, 공원 등과 같은 주요 기간 시설에 의해 잘 뒷받침 되는데 문제가 없도록 카운슬과 협의한다. 라이드 카운슬은 카운슬의 “지역 도시계획 규정”이 현재의 상황에 맞고 커뮤니티 기대치에 맞게 만들어야 할 필요가 있습니다. 제 개인적인 견해는 아주 오랜 기간 동안 우리에게 충분한 부동산 개발이 이미 되었다 입니다. 앞으로 5년 동안 뉴 사우스 웨일즈 주정부는 다음을 포함하는 주요 기간 시설을 제공할 것입니다; 노스 웨스트 메트로 기차 1억불을 투입해서 맥콰리 파크의 헤링 로드에 위치한 버스 인터체인지 역 시설 업그레이드 새로운 학교 5개 신설 및 주요 초등학교 업그레이드 메도우 뱅크 교육 전문 지역 메도우 뱅크 고용 전문 지역 이러한 청사진이 커뮤니티의 기대에 부응하고 주요 기간 시설에 의해 제대로 뒷받침 될 수 있도록 앞으로 2년 동안 카운슬 및 “광역 시드니 위원회 (Greater Sydney Commission)” 와 함께 일을 할 것입니다. 감사합니다.
I would like to thank the General Manager for Ryde City Council, Mr George Dedes for his letter to our local paper, The Weekly Times indicating that he welcomes and will embrace the solution the NSW Government and I have proposed to assist Ryde Council to fix the broken Local Environment Plan (LEP). I would like to thank the General Manager for Ryde City Council, Mr George Dedes for his letter to local paper, The Weekly Times indicating that he welcomes and will embrace the solution the NSW Government and I have proposed to assist Ryde Council to update its Local Environment Plan (LEP). Mr Dedes noted in his letter to the editor that he wished to thank the Minister for Planning, the Hon. Anthony Roberts, for listening to the Concerns of Council and the Ryde community and for his move to defer the implementation of the new medium density housing code until July 1 2019. He also recognised in his letter Minister Roberts’ understanding of the impact that the new housing code would have on the low density suburbs in Ryde if it was implemented prior to Ryde Council developing their new LEP. Mr Dedes said “that he looks forward to partnering with the Greater Sydney Commission and working on developing our new Local Housing Strategy and a new LEP and comprehensive engage with the community in this regards.

Save TG Millner Field
Community stands up for open space Our community came together recently to fight against development and to stand up for open space. Supporters of the “Save TG Millner Field” campaign held a community rally, which was attended by more than 150 residents. Many spoke passionately about keeping the area as public open space and the overwhelming community support for this movement was inspiring to see. I thank Tobias Lord for coordinating the rally and for his unfaltering community leadership and hard work throughout the campaign. In more good news, City of Ryde Councillors Trenton Brown and Jordan Lane announced that they had submitted a notice of motion to the City of Ryde to buy back the TG Millner Field to secure its use for public open space. Council resolved to obtain review and enter into negotiations for the purchase of TG Millner. I thank Councillors Brown and Lane for their commitment to preserving this precious piece of open space. I also thank the Mayor for supporting the motion. I have written to the Ryde councillors expressing my unswerving support for this proposal which will be made public in due course. In Ryde, I have been fighting against overdevelopment and for the preservation of green space for the past 10 years. We have stopped 23 storey apartment blocks being built in Meadowbank and 12 storey apartments being built at Allengrove Crescent and Whiteside Street, North Ryde. We have stopped developments occurring at Tennis World, Blenheim Road in North Ryde and Smalls Road in Ryde. We will transform the current Meadowbank Primary School site into a park once the new primary school is built on the TAFE site. Currently, we are fighting to protect the TG Millner Fields in Marsfield.

NOTICE OF MOTION 8
TG MILLNER FIELDS - Councillor Note:
Trenton Brown
Councillor Brown disclosed a Less than Significant Non-Pecuniary Intere st in this for the reason that he is a social member of the North Ryde RSL and a member of the Eastw ood District Rugby Union Football Club.
RESOLUTION: (Moved by Coun cillors Brown and Lane) That the City of Ryde Council: (a) Recognise the value of the existin g TG Millner site for recreational public use. (b) Commence negotiations to purch ase TG Millner to secure its use for public open space following a comprehensive investigation into its viability. (c) Urgently review whether the TG Milner playing fields meet the criteri a for heritage listing and if so seek an interim heritage order with a view to a permanent listing that protec ts these fields as open space in perpetuity. (d) Should purchase of the TG Millne r site be determined as viable, Coun cil approach the State Government to seek funds from the State Government’s recently annou nced ‘Open Spaces and Green Sydney’ to purchase the land and the Mayor write to the Premier, the Member for Ryde and the Member for Lane Cove seeking their support. Record of the Voting For the Motion:
The Mayor, Councillorr Laxale and Councillors Brown, Clifton, Gordon, Lane, Maggio, Moujalli, Pedersen, Purcell, Yedelian and Zhou Against the Motion: Councillor Kim
Minutes of the Council Meeting No.
5/18, dated 24 April 2018
HOW I CAN HELP YOU As your local Member of Parliament I can: Represent you in parliament. Take your concern directly to the appropriate Minister or department to get a response.
New Metro line As you may have heard the rail line between Epping and Chatswood will be closed from 30 September, 2018 for approximately 7 months. This closure will allow the new Metro line to be laid and safety upgrades installed. These include platform screen doors along the length of the platforms to keep people and objects away from the tracks. Timetables will be a thing of the past as trains will run every 4 minutes in the peak. This is the first stage of the North West Metro – from Rouse Hill to Chatswood and will be open this time next year.
The second stage, due for completion in 2024 will be from Chatswood to Bankstown enabling a transit through the city of 4 minutes. Unquestionably there will be challenges with the shutdown for 7 months. Transport is working hard to manage these and we will bring you further information in the next Connector.
New LEP – new possibilities Council’s local planning laws are contained in its Local Environment Plan (LEP). Hopefully over the next 2 years the next LEP can plan for and address much needed car-parking in Eastwood and further open space throughout Ryde. The next LEP could also achieve the safeguarding of the TG Millner Fields. A masterplanning of Blenheim Park and Tennis World as well as a Jobs Park in Meadowbank could also be a possibility. Please let me know if you have any other ideas for a future LEP.
Put you in touch with a service that can help you. Advise you of your rights and further action you may care to take. Lobby for more resources for your group or community. Work with you to achieve positive outcomes and to make democracy work for us all.
