Attachment 1-7 - City of Ryde

Council Attachments Page 95
ITEM 12 (continued) ATTACHMENT 7
Context
The following deadlines are required to be met:
Under State Governments timetabling for the development of a comprehensive LEP
for all Council areas within NSW the Ryde LEP 2011 - a comprehensive plan for the
City of Ryde was to be completed by March 2011. No formal extension to this period
has been given by DoPI. The March deadline has not being met due to:-
the delay in the gazettal of LEP 2010 (Stage 1 of the 3 Stage process towards a
comprehensive LEP for the City of Ryde) by the Minister for DoPI.
the delay in receiving the S65 Certificate for draft LEP 2011 and
the changes to the Standard Instrument by DoPI that occurred in February 2011.
The Department is now requesting that we finalise the LEP by the end of 2012.
Financial Implications
Should Council resolve to adopt Draft LEP 2011 upon the gazettal of the Plan
Council policy is to place an advertisement in the local paper. The cost of such an ad
would be $1 000 and this is within the current budget Urban Planning budget for
2011/2012.
Policy Implications
The recommendation is consistent with the requirements of the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Other Options
1. Council has an option not to proceed with DLEP 2011 - This option would result
in the proposed changes to centres, small centres, residential choice and
sustainability not being available to the community.
Outcomes
Redevelopment and revitalisation opportunities of Centres and Small Centres
not realised.
Residential development and choice not being expanded through the strata
subdivisions.
Flood, stormwater and sustainability controls not being applied through an
LEP
Numerous Planning Proposals being submitted to Council for land which
under the DLEP was indicated for zoning floor space or height changes
City of Ryde not being in compliance with the State Governments directions
that all Council in NSW have a comprehensive LEP in place.
LEP 2010 being maintained as the principle planning instrument for the City of
Ryde.
2. Council has an option to defer consideration of the draft LEP - It should be
noted that the process has already been underway for more than 5 years and it
is considered that further significant delay in finalising the LEP has the potential
to precipitate State Government involvement in Council’s plan making functions.
