Strategic Centre • Increase employment generating uses and floor space and retain existing employment land uses to support Council’s Master Plan target of 7,500 jobs by 2036 (an additional 2,700 jobs) • Provide additional capacity in planning controls to support Council’s Master Plan target to deliver an additional 6,360 dwellings by 2036 • Include Campsie Town Centre as part of the Council’s Affordable Housing Contributions

Scheme that has been initiated as part of the Bankstown City Centre Planning Proposal • Achieve a higher benchmark for development in relation to energy and water efficiency to meet

Council’s target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 • Ensure development in Campsie Town Centre commits to quality design outcomes and the associated Design Review Panel • Encourage a high quality and activated public domain with good solar access • Increase active and public transport use and reduce car dependence • Increase longer term affordable housing provision to accommodate more very low, low and moderate-income households in the town centre • Provide a diverse range of community infrastructure, in both type and size, to promote community health, cohesion and well-being and make Campsie an attractive place to work, and • Unlock underutilised public land holdings within the Town Centre for redevelopment, delivering new housing, employment floor space and revitalised community infrastructure.

The intended outcomes of this Planning Proposal are:

• Protect existing employment floorspace by maintaining a minimum amount of employment uses to be a ground floor level, or equivalent to the existing employment use on the site, whichever is greater • Establish building envelope controls that maintain adequate solar access to significant parks and public spaces in winter • Improve amenity and allow for residential growth by identifying and reserving land for acquisition • Require a proportion of new residential developments above a certain yield to deliver affordable housing • Set controls which incentivise new developments to achieve energy and water efficiency performance over legislated targets • Provide incentive height and FSR to incentivise the delivery of community facilities/on-site infrastructure on certain sites, up to 3% affordable housing (phased in over four years) or more than 50% of employment generating uses

• Expand the application of the Canterbury Bankstown Draft Affordable Housing Contributions

Scheme into the Campsie Town Centre • Facilitate employment growth by introducing B4 Mixed Use Zoned sites to elevate the centre from a local centre to a genuine strategic centre and protect employment generating uses by ensuring there is no net loss of commercial floor space when sites are redeveloped • Remove the permissibility of residential accommodation within the B5 Business Development zoned land along Canterbury Road to align with the recommendations of the Canterbury Road

Review (2017) • Provide an FSR bonus of 0.25-0.5:1 to deliver higher performance residential and commercial buildings in relation to water and energy, and • Facilitate and regulate the delivery of underground floor space in the Campsie Town Centre.
