Neal McCarry, Service Unit Manager Strategic Planning at North Sydney Council, talks through the finalisation of the Crows Nest Transport Oriented Development program announced by the NSW Government on 27 November 2024.
Neal outlines the effect of these changes to Council’s planning controls to help you understand what they mean for our area.
Council's Strategic Planning team is working on a more detailed analysis of the potential impacts and issues arising from these amendments. This analysis will be presented to a meeting of Council next year. We will make more information and a critique available after this analysis is complete.
