Topics
Housing and planning strategy
Council supported work to align Bondi Junction planning with community feedback, housing targets and sustainability objectives. It also supported investigation of affordable-housing controls used by Woollahra and the City of Sydney, with a report and planning proposal due by the November meeting.
Future planning controls could affect housing supply, density, affordability and development across the Waverley local government area.
Edgecliff-Woollahra state-led rezoning
Council approved its submission to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure on the Edgecliff-Woollahra Precinct State-Led Rezoning Proposal.
The rezoning is adjacent to Waverley and may influence future housing, transport and infrastructure pressures in nearby areas.
Public school capacity in Bondi Junction
Council noted planned housing growth in Bondi Junction, Edgecliff and Woollahra and requested updated demand and capacity modelling from the NSW Department of Education. The modelling had not yet been provided. Council will advocate for consideration of a vertical public high school and noted the strategic review of 65 Ebley Street, Bondi Junction.
School capacity and the future of the Spotlight site may affect families, students and residents facing increased development.
