Important decisions

SEAC membership appointments endorsed

Council endorsed appointments to the Sustainability and Environment Advisory Committee for the term from 1 March 2026 to 30 June 2028 and delegated authority to the General Manager to fill vacancies or skill gaps during that period.

This affects how community environmental and sustainability input is represented in Council advisory processes.

Half-yearly performance report endorsed

Council endorsed the Half-Yearly Report for 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 on progress against its Delivery Program.

This provides residents with an accountability update on Council service and project delivery.

Apartment liveability DCP amendments adopted

Council adopted amendments to Parts 3 and 4 of the Burwood Development Control Plan 2013 to improve apartment liveability, including public notice and publication steps, and requested further reports on potential planning changes related to excluded gross floor area items and visitor-related DCP provisions.

Future apartment developments in Burwood will be assessed under updated liveability and design controls, which can affect amenity, sustainability and building design outcomes.
