Planning Proposal, Site-Specific DCP and Planning Agreement 

The Melrose Park precinct is on the eastern edge of the Parramatta local government area (LGA) and is in the process of transforming from an industrial area to one that will provide for mixed use development including high density residential, open space and retail/commercial uses. 

To facilitate this change, Council is currently exhibiting the draft Holdmark Planning Proposal (Melrose Park South), draft Site-Specific Development Control Plan (DCP) and draft Planning Agreement for two sites in Melrose Park South. The sites are 112 Wharf Road, 30-32 Waratah Street (East Site), and 82 Hughes Avenue (West Site) in Melrose Park South. The draft Planning Proposal provides details of the proposed changes to the planning controls on the two sites such as land use zones, building heights and floor space ratios. The draft DCP provides detailed planning and design guidelines and includes greater detail on things such as the breakdown of building heights across the site, open space requirements, building setbacks, flooding, etc. The draft Planning Agreement makes provision for the delivery of local community infrastructure needed to support the proposed redevelopment and has a value of over $37 million. 

Visit Participate Parramatta for more information and for details on how to make a submission.

The exhibition will conclude at 5pm on Tuesday, 20 September 2022.
