Randwick Local Planning Panel (Electronic) - 11 Jun 2026

Topics

• Kingsford development refused by panel
  The Panel refused a development application at 1 Borrodale Road, citing adverse impacts.
  Refusals can halt or reshape development proposals that affect local character, traffic and neighbour amenity.
• Multiple eastern suburbs DAs approved or conditionally approved
  The Panel approved or conditionally approved developments in South Coogee, Coogee and Chifley.
  These decisions affect housing supply, construction activity and local impacts across several suburbs.
• Maroubra amendment decision deferred pending more information
  The Panel delayed its decision on 301 Malabar Road, Maroubra until further information is provided.
  Deferred planning decisions prolong uncertainty for neighbours, applicants and potential objectors.

Decisions

• 28 Gregory Street, South Coogee (DA/175/2026)
  The Panel visited the site, considered written submissions and the assessment report, and supported the application subject to the development consent conditions in the assessment report. Carried unanimously.
  A development was approved in South Coogee, which may affect local streetscape, amenity and construction activity.
• 2/105 Brook Street, Coogee (DA/349/2026)
  The Panel visited the site and reviewed the assessment report, then supported the application. Carried unanimously.
  This Coogee development was approved, which may influence local housing and neighbourhood impacts.
• 301 Malabar Road, Maroubra (DA/258/2026)
  The Panel indicated it would reconvene electronically after receiving further information within 14 days of notification in writing, before determining the amending application.
  The Maroubra proposal was not finally determined and remains under consideration.
• 1 Borrodale Road, Kingsford (DA/131/2026)
  The Panel refused the application on the basis that it would result in adverse impacts.
  The Kingsford development was rejected, which prevents the proposal proceeding in its current form.
• 59 Hastings Avenue, Chifley (DA/8/2026)
  The Panel visited the site, considered written submissions and the assessment report, and supported the application subject to an additional condition.
  A Chifley development was approved with extra conditions, which may affect local impacts and compliance requirements.

Discussion

• Multiple development application determinations
  The meeting focused on several DA decisions across the eastern suburbs, with approvals, a refusal and one matter deferred for more information.
  These decisions shape what can be built locally and how nearby residents may be affected by future works.
• Additional condition imposed on Chifley approval
  The 59 Hastings Avenue, Chifley application was supported only subject to an additional condition.
  Extra conditions can change how a project is built or operated, and may reduce impacts on neighbours.
• Further information sought for Maroubra amendment
  The 301 Malabar Road, Maroubra matter was left pending while the Panel awaits further information before reconvening.
  The proposal is still unresolved, so residents and applicants will need to wait for a final decision.

Impacts

• Approvals may bring construction activity, traffic changes and temporary disruption in Coogee, South Coogee and Chifley.
• The refusal at Kingsford stops that particular proposal in its current form.
• The Maroubra application remains undecided pending further information.
• Development conditions may affect overlooking, amenity, site access or other local impacts.
