Feedback on planning options for William Street, Paddington
Published: 01 Sep 2009
Following Council’s decision on 10 August 2009, a draft local environmental plan will be prepared for properties in William Street, Paddington.
In May/June of this year, the community was invited to comment on three planning options for William Street, Paddington. Each option maintained the existing residential zone, but varied the number of properties that may be used for retail purposes, and whether the retail use may also be allowed on the first floor.
A report (PDF, 72.5 KB) summarising the exhibition process and the responses received was presented to Council’s Urban Planning Committee on 27 July 2009. This report includes the identification of a preferred planning option, being Option 1. The Committees recommendation was considered by full Council on 10 August 2009, and the Council endorsed the Committee’s recommendation.
The next stage in preparing additional land use controls for properties in William Street, has therefore been commenced with Council deciding to prepare a draft local environmental plan.
The new controls propose to allow fashion shops, shoe shops, jewellery shops, health and beauty shops, florists and artists’ studios on the ground floor of certain nominated properties in William Street. The upper floor of those properties may be used for associated storage or offices or residential purposes. All uses will need to obtain the Council consent.
Public exhibition of the draft local environmental plan will occur later this year.
Once the draft local environmental plan has been prepared, reports and other information about this matter will be available Council's website.
