CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 11 OCTOBER 2012
13-15 ANGLO ROAD, CAMPSIE: DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED RETAIL/RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT WITH BASEMENT CARPARKING (CONT.)
The objective of this zone is to achieve a hierarchy of shopping centres containing a
range of retail, office and related uses, which contribute to employment and economic
growth of the area.
The proposed development meets this objective as it is an appropriate active use that
will provide a substantial contribution to the viability of the Campsie Town Centre.
Furthermore, the retail and commercial tenancies will provide for the employment and
economic growth of the area. The specific use of the tenancies will be the subject of
future Development Applications.
• Draft Canterbury Local Environmental Plan 2012
On 29 March 2012, the Draft LEP 2012 went on public exhibition and became an
instrument to consider under Section 79C(1)(a)(ii) of the EPAA. The broad controls
applicable to this application are:
Standard Requirement Proposal Complies

However, the draft LEP is not considered to be certain or imminent in its current form
as public submission are still being considered and the matter is yet to be determined
by Council following the public exhibition process. Accordingly, at this stage, no
determinative weighting can be afforded to its provisions in respect to this application.
• State Environmental Planning Policy 65 – Design Quality of Residential Flat
Development (SEPP 65)
The proposed development falls within the definition of a residential flat building
under this SEPP. The policy aims to improve the design quality of residential flat
buildings in NSW by way of addressing the following design principles:
Context
The mixed-use development is consistent with the future character of the area and is a
permissible use within the zone. Higher density residential development will be a
characteristic of the area within and adjacent to the business centre.
Scale
The scale and built form of the proposed development is consistent with the scale of
developments which we are encouraging in this area.
Built Form
The proposal achieves the built form objectives as it contributes positively to the
streetscape and provides a high amenity for residents and tenants.
