The City of Parramatta Council is publicly exhibiting a Planning Proposal, draft Planning Agreement and draft Development Control Plan (DCP) for land at 19 Hope Street, Melrose Park and 69-77 Hughes Avenue, Ermington, also known as the Tomola site.
This Planning Proposal seeks to amend the controls in Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023 (PLEP 2023) to facilitate a future mixed-use development and public open space.
A site-specific section in the Parramatta DCP has been prepared with detailed controls applying to the Tomola site. Any future Development Application will need to have regard to these provisions should this matter proceed.
A draft Planning Agreement has also been negotiated with the landowner to provide the requisite supporting infrastructure. The draft Planning Agreement is worth approximately $3.4M and proposes the following:
The provision of two (2) 2-bedroom affordable housing units with a total of two allocated parking bays, dedicated to Council in perpetuity. Landscaping, embellishment and dedication to Council of new public open space with a total area of 2,673m2To find out more about this Planning Proposal, including making a submission, please visit the Participate Parramatta webpage via the link below.
