Ku-ring-gai advances Turramurra Plaza planning proposal for finalisation
A planning proposal and amended site-specific controls for the Turramurra Plaza site have been adopted, with related council land at Kissing Point Road endorsed for reclassification from community to operational land.
Ku-ring-gai Council has adopted the planning proposal for the Turramurra Plaza site and nearby land in central Turramurra, advancing a major redevelopment planning matter to the state government for finalisation.
At its 17 March meeting, council adopted the proposal and an amended site-specific development control plan for 1364-1396 Pacific Highway and 1, 1A, 3 and 3A Kissing Point Road, Turramurra. It also endorsed the reclassification of council-owned land at 1A, 3 and 3A Kissing Point Road from community land to operational land.
The decision covers a prominent group of sites around Turramurra. For residents, nearby businesses and road users, it marks a significant step in shaping future development outcomes in the centre. The minutes do not set out the final built form, but they do show council has now backed the planning package after exhibition.
Council also noted supplementary information and late memoranda for the Turramurra Plaza item before making its decision. Some submission material attached to the report remained confidential in the public agenda papers.
The next step is for the planning proposal to be submitted to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for finalisation. Council's listed follow-up actions also include notifying submitters of the decision.
Separate reports are also expected later on any prospective land transaction and on the exhibition and adoption of a draft Planning Agreement linked to the Turramurra Plaza matter.
