Decisions
Planning panel appointments renewed
Council re-appointed Councillors Regan and Zeltzer as Sydney Eastern City Planning Panel members, with four alternate councillor members and three alternate community members, for 26 October to 31 December 2026. A further report will address the NSW Government review of district panels.
The appointments maintain Woollahra’s representation in decisions considered by the regional planning panel.
Housing and land development project progressed
Council authorised the General Manager to continue negotiating the acquisition of land for Phase 2 of the Cabonne Housing and Land Development Project in Eugowra, subject to the REDCIP funding deed being fully entered into with the NSW Government.
The project could support additional housing and land development in Eugowra, but negotiations remain conditional on funding arrangements.
Engagement program and December 2026 report
The exhibition and engagement program includes Your Say Inner West, public information sessions, online and in-person sessions, and service-centre drop-ins. Council will receive a detailed engagement outcomes report in December 2026 before the plan is submitted to the NSW Government for implementation.
Community feedback can influence the final plan before it proceeds to the NSW Government.

Could affect access to a key local swimming facility and its future community use.
Topics
Project Pluto Data Centre, Guildford West
Council noted resident concerns about the data centre at 132 McCredie Road and noted that the development was approved by the NSW Government as a State Significant Development. Council is to prepare and distribute a community information Q&A flyer to households within 2.5 kilometres of the site.
Nearby households will receive information about the project, which remains a State Significant Development rather than a council-approved development.
Fuel shortage planning
Council noted that its Crisis Management Team began fuel crisis planning and scenario modelling in March 2026 to protect critical services and will advocate to the NSW Government for temporary use of the Domestic Waste Charge to offset impacts on general operations.
This is aimed at maintaining waste and other essential Council services if fuel supplies are disrupted.
