Overview of Planning Proposal and draft Planning Agreement
The City of Parramatta Council is publicly exhibiting a site-specific Planning Proposal and draft Planning Agreement for land at 8 Lincluden Place, Oatlands.
The subject site is located at 8 Lincluden Place, Oatlands and is bound by Gollan Avenue to the north-east, Pennant Hills Road to the north-west and neighbouring properties at 6 and 9 Lincluden Place, Oatlands. The site is currently zoned part SP2 Infrastructure (Educational Establishment) and part SP2 Infrastructure (Classified Road), and includes several disused educational buildings that are in private ownership.
The site-specific Planning Proposal proposes to change the zoning of the existing land to accommodate future residential housing that is in keeping with surrounding development, subject to a future development application(s).
A draft Planning Agreement has been prepared to accompany the Planning Proposal to address local infrastructure demand.
Changes to Planning Controls
This Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023 (PLEP). Refer to the table below illustrating changes between the current and proposed Parramatta LEP 2023 planning controls.
| Current PLEP 2023 Controls | Proposed PLEP 2023 Controls | |
| Proposed PLEP 2023 Controls | Part SP2 Infrastructure (Educational Establishment) and Part SP2 Infrastructure (Classified Road) | Part R2 Low Density Residential and Part SP2 Infrastructure (Classified Road) |
| Height of Buildings | 9m (2 - 3 storeys) | 9m (2 - 3 storeys) |
| Floor Space Ratio | no FSR | 0:5:1 |
| Heritage Provisions | Heritage Conservation Area - Burnside Homes | Heritage Conservation Area - Burnside Homes |
| Dual Occupancy Prohibition | N/A | ‘S’ – Subdivision for Dual Occupancies Prohibited |
Given the relatively minor nature of this Planning Proposal, the preparation of a site-specific Development Control Plan (DCP) is not required. Any future development shall be assessed under the existing provisions of the Parramatta DCP 2023.
