A Metropolis of Three Cities

The Greater Sydney Regional Plan sets a 40-year vision for Greater Sydney. The plan designated Campsie as a Strategic Centre. Strategic Centres play a key role in a region’s centre hierarchy and are expected to accommodate high levels of private sector investment and growth. This designation acts as a transformational opportunity for Campsie. Campsie will transition from a main street into a broader employment precinct. The South District Plan is a 20-year plan that implements the directions contained in the Greater Sydney Region Plan. The Master Plan responds to the actions of the South District Plan through the following actions:

· Build upon Campsie’s role as a thriving commercial centre with a range of medical services and a high level of amenity and connectivity. · Increase job capacity to meet the upper total jobs target for Campsie of 7,500 by 2036. · Strengthen Beamish Street’s role as an eat street to grow the night-time economy. · Encourage activation of secondary streets by providing planning controls and public domain improvements to activate street life. · Strengthen links to Canterbury Hospital and surrounding allied health services. · Increasing housing supply and diversity in the right locations to contribute to the

South District’s housing target. · Deliver new or upgraded social infrastructure that reflects the needs of the community including open space and community facilities. · Introduce an affordable housing contribution scheme following feasibility testing. · Manage traffic and parking to reduce impacts on pedestrian amenity, especially on Beamish Street. · Protect and conserve heritage and local character through recommended heritage Connective City 2036 is Council’s vision for Canterbury Bankstown to guide future growth. Key actions of this Strategy that will be implemented through the Campsie Town Centre Master Plan include:

· Position Campsie as the anchor of the

Eastern Lifestyle and Medical Precinct and support a health and medical precinct around

Canterbury Hospital. · Provide capacity for 7,500 jobs in the Town

Centre by 2036. · Protect the character and fine grain along

Beamish Street and maintain retail and commercial usage along the street. · Provide housing choice to suit each life stage through a range of housing appropriate scale, and the links between them. · Recommend new sites and areas for heritage listing and character. · Enhance the Green and Blue web. · Deliver cultural places and spaces that meet community needs through the Civic Centre hub. · Advocate for and participate in the delivery of joint-use and shared facilities with relevant agencies and private sector stakeholders. · Develop a night time economy through actions to reduce regulatory requirements for late night trading and temporary cultural activities. · Develop design controls and guidelines for design and sustainability excellence. · Increase Electric Vehicle parking capacity through Development Control Plan controls. · Implementation of higher BASIX and sustainability targets by amending the current sustainability bonus mechanism.

items, heritage conservation areas and planning controls to protect character of special precincts. · Reduce urban heat and improve water health through increased tree canopy and water sensitive urban design in the public domain and new private development. · Achieve a low carbon precinct by incentivising increased energy and water performance buildings through planning controls above legislated targets.

Future Transport 2056 outlines the transport vision for Greater Sydney. The Plan identifies Campsie as forming part of a centre-serving transport corridor that supports buses, walking and cycling. Key actions of Future Transport 2056 that informed the Campsie Town Centre Master Plan include:

· Upgrades to stations along the T3

Bankstown Line as part of the commitment to deliver Sydney Metro City and

Southwest. · Improved cycling connectivity from

Campsie to the broader bicycle network. · Consideration of longer term north-south connections including a potential train/ mass transit link from Hurstville (or Kogarah) to Burwood and Strathfield and then onto

Rhodes and Macquarie Park in the next 20+ years. Future Transport 2056

Canterbury Road Review, CBCity 2017

The Canterbury Road Review was a traffic and urban design study that looked at how Canterbury Road could best accommodate population growth while minimising increased traffic. The review was a collaborative project between Transport for NSW, Roads and Maritime Services and Council. The review examined land uses for properties fronting Canterbury Road between Hurlstone Park and Bankstown and made a series of recommendations about the planning framework to guide future development and improve design quality and road function.

The review recommended that residential development along the corridor be concentrated around seven junctions. Two of these junctions are within the Campsie Master Plan study area. Including a key junction at intersection of Beamish Street and Canterbury Road and a smaller junction immediately west of the Cooks River.

Key recommendations of the review that will be implemented through the Campsie Town Centre Master Plan include:

· Concentrate residential development at the intersection of Canterbury Road and

Beamish Street. · Exclude multi-storey housing from land fronting Canterbury Road by removing the permissible residential accommodation in the B5 Business Development zone. · Recommend the application of an FSR control for land along Canterbury Road · Ensure a consistent minimum setback from

Canterbury Road for potential streetscape enhancements. · Apply a car parking rate for all new developments aimed at promoting alternative mode choice. · Establish appropriate planning controls and funding mechanisms to ensure a continuous network of rear lanes, parallel to

Canterbury Road. · Outline the need to investigate road management measures aimed at rebalancing the priority of the arterial road function of Canterbury Road as part of

Campsie Complete Streets Transport and

Place Plan.

CANTERBURY BANKSTOWN Affordable Housing Strategy

June 2020

Affordable Housing Strategy CBCity 2020

The aim of the Affordable Housing Strategy is to contribute to the reduction of the level of housing stress experienced by residents across the City of Canterbury Bankstown. Council’s Affordable Housing Strategy identifies a range of mechanisms to deliver affordable housing in Campsie Town Centre.

The Master Plan implements the Affordable Housing Strategy by establishing an affordable housing contribution scheme in the LEP of up to 3% of all new dwellings in conjunction with achieving the incentive FSR and Floor Space Ratio. Alternative to the dedication of dwellings, it enables developers to provide a monetary contribution per square metre of total residential gross floor area.

The Strategy set an action for master plans to test the feasibility of providing up to 15% of residential floor space as affordable housing. The feasibility analysis undertaken as part of this Master Plan determined that the rate of 3% was the upper limit within this scheme that maintained the feasibility of development. A staged implementation approach will be taken.

This Master Plan will require up to 3% of all residential floor space in applicable areas to be Affordable Housing. It is noted that targets set by the State Government for 5-10% Affordable Housing are for ‘floor space uplift’ only.
