Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No 28—Parramatta (NSW)
This Plan is Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No 28—Parramatta.
This Plan applies to the land known as the Parramatta Primary Centre, as shown on the Primary Centre and Precincts Map. That land is predominantly within the City of Parramatta and partly within the City of Holroyd.
This Plan creates 8 Precincts within the Parramatta Primary Centre. The Precincts are shown on the Primary Centre and Precincts Map.
The Precincts are:
• Precinct 1—City Centre
• Precinct 2—Harris Park
• Precinct 3—Government
• Precinct 4—Westmead
• Precinct 5—Rydalmere
• Precinct 6—Camellia
• Precinct 7—Northern
• Precinct 8—Southern
The objectives of this Plan are:
(a) to establish regional planning aims for the Parramatta Primary Centre, and
(b) to recognise the unique and varied nature of each Precinct.
A separate Part of this Plan provides:
(a) aims for development and detailed development controls in:
• Part 3 for Precinct 1—City Centre,
• Part 4 for Precinct 2—Harris Park,
• Part 5 for Precinct 3—Government,
• Part 7 for Precinct 5—Rydalmere,
• Part 8 for Precinct 6—Camellia,
(b) aims for development in:
• Part 6 for Precinct 4—Westmead.
The following do not apply to land within the City Centre, Harris Park or Government Precinct:
• Parramatta Planning Scheme Ordinance
• Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 1989 (City Centre)
• Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 1996 (Heritage and Conservation)
• Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2001
(Repealed)
If there is an inconsistency between this Plan and any other environmental planning instrument made before the appointed day, this Plan prevails.
State Environmental Planning Policy No 1—Development Standards does not apply:
(a) to height requirements for buildings within the City Centre or the Harris Park, Rydalmere or Camellia Precincts, or
(b) to allow consent to be granted for the erection of a building with a floor space ratio that is more than 10% greater than the maximum floor space ratio for the building set by a development standard in this Plan.
In addition, a consent of the kind restricted by subclause (6) (b) may be granted pursuant to State Environmental Planning Policy No 1—Development Standards only if the consent authority is satisfied that:
(a) there are exceptional circumstances in the particular case because of the unique shape or character of the allotment concerned, or because of the relationship of the proposed building to adjoining buildings or the nature of the adjoining buildings, or both, and
(b) the built form that would be achieved by development allowed by the consent would be only marginally different from that which would be achieved if the relevant maximum floor space ratio applied, and
(c) the development allowed by the consent would significantly enhance achievement of the objectives of the zone in which it is proposed to be carried out, and
(d) the proposed building demonstrates a high standard of architectural design, materials and detailing that is appropriate to the building type and its location.
Any draft local environmental plan that applies to land within the Parramatta Primary Centre should facilitate the strategies and the structure plans outlined in the Parramatta Regional Planning Strategy, 1999 and the Parramatta Regional Access Strategy, 1999 (which are available from Parramatta City Council, Holroyd City Council and the Department).
Parramatta City Council is the consent authority for any development applications required by this Plan for development within the City of Parramatta.

(c) The appropriate authority must take into account any written submissions made about the content of the draft master plan during the exhibition period. Any comments made by the Director or the Council within 30 days of receipt of the draft must be taken into consideration prior to the draft master plan being adopted.
(a) A master plan may be amended by a master plan.
(b) The appropriate authority may request the preparation of such an amendment for the purpose of keeping the master plan up to date.
(c) An amendment to a master plan may be dealt with concurrently with a development application.
A copy of a master plan must be available for inspection at the offices of the Council concerned during normal business hours.
Local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments apply to development applications lodged but not finally determined before the commencement of this Plan as if this Plan had been exhibited in the form in which it was made, but had not commenced.
The council concerned must, as soon as practicable as may be after each anniversary of the appointed day, prepare an annual monitoring report for land to which this Plan applies within its area.
The aims of an annual monitoring report are:
(a) to report on achievement of the objectives of this Plan and the implementation of the Parramatta Regional Action Plan, 1999, and
(b) to provide a management tool which indicates development trends, and
(c) to identify changes required in response to development trends so that Parramatta fulfills its role as a primary centre within the Sydney Metropolitan Region, and
(d) to report on the extent to which the principles of ecological sustainability have been integrated into facilities, services and functions governed by this Plan.
A monitoring report is to be made public and to monitor the following for the preceding year:
(a) for the portion of the Parramatta Primary Centre within the area of the consent authority (if a Council):
(i) changes in use of different modes of transport,
(ii) changes in the level of public transport services,
(iii) nett number of parking spaces within the Parramatta Primary Centre,
(iv) improvements in the public domain,

• retail,
• commercial,
• residential, including affordable housing,
• industrial, and
(ii) the condition of heritage items and any decisions of the consent authority (if a Council) which affect heritage items within its area, and
(iii) the take up of, or utilisation of, by-products, energy reduction in net energy use sustainable developments.
This Part applies to all land within the Parramatta Primary Centre.
The regional planning aims in this Part apply to the whole Parramatta Primary Centre and provide a framework within which other development controls operate. These aims must be considered by the consent authority in assessing development applications and should be considered when a Council prepares a local environmental plan.
The aims of the Parramatta Primary Centre are as follows:
(a) to provide a planning framework for Parramatta to fulfil its role as a primary centre in the Sydney Metropolitan Region,
(b) to recognise the unique range of land uses in the Parramatta Primary Centre and foster interaction between the six Precincts (the City Centre, Harris Park, Government, Westmead, Rydalmere and Camellia Precincts) to encourage their mutual development, while concentrating major commercial development in the City Centre Precinct,
(c) to facilitate improvements to accessibility and urban design throughout the Parramatta Primary Centre, while preserving and promoting the heritage elements of the region,
(d) to consolidate, simplify and update the planning controls for the Parramatta Primary Centre to give effect to the Parramatta Regional Planning Strategy, 1999 and other related strategies,
(e) to support growth in the Parramatta Primary Centre by improvements to public transport, in the form of an integrated regional transport system,
(f) to conserve and promote Parramatta’s heritage as a framework for its identity, prosperity, livability and social development,

Development is to seek to achieve the following urban design objectives, and consent must not be granted for the carrying out of development unless the consent authority has given consideration to these objectives:
(a) the major facades and entries of buildings are to address major public places, such as streets, squares, parks and the river,
(b) through-site pedestrian links are to be made to squares, parks and the river, where applicable,
(c) buildings are to be built predominantly to the street alignment and side boundaries, and are to provide continuous street frontages for enhanced pedestrian amenity,
(d) buildings are to have regard to adjoining buildings and works with transitions of height, massing and scale, where appropriate,
(e) the design of buildings is to have regard to the existing heritage character of a place, where applicable,
(f) space allocated for vehicular entrances is to be minimised, with those entrances provided predominantly from lanes or centres of blocks,
(g) residential buildings are to maximise the number of pedestrian entrances to the street,
(h) visual impact of car parking is to be minimised by the use of underground parking, and by screening above-ground parking from the street by locating the parking behind other active uses on street, square, park or river frontages,
(i) building bulk created by large unbroken expanses of wall is to be reduced by articulation and modulation,
(j) retention of existing laneways and public accessways is to be encouraged.
The objectives for the control of the height of buildings in the City Centre Precinct are as follows:
(a) to allow sunlight access to key areas of the public domain by ensuring that:
(i) further overshadowing of certain parks and community places is avoided or limited, and
(ii) existing overshadowing of certain parks and community places is reduced in the long term,
(b) to ensure structures and works adjoining parks and the river corridor are not overbearing,
(c) to permit the most intensive high-scale development in immediate proximity to public transport nodes,
(d) to require the height of future buildings to have regard to heritage sites, and their settings, their views and their visual interconnections,
(e) to enable view sharing within the Parramatta City Centre,
(f) to nominate heights which integrate with building heights in Special Areas,
(g) to ensure that regard is had to the preservation of key identified historic views shown in the Parramatta Regional Planning Strategy, 1999.
Height is the dominant control and has precedence over achievement of maximum floor space ratio for buildings in the City Centre Precinct.
The height of a building on any land is not to exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the City Centre Height Map, or, if the land is within a Special Area, the maximum height shown for the land on the City Centre Special Areas Map.
Any building on land in the Special Uses or Open Space zone is not to exceed a single storey in height.
(a) All new buildings and additions or alterations to existing buildings must comply with the following sun access plane control established for the Civic Place site, the Lancer Barracks site and Jubilee Park, irrespective of the existing height of nearby buildings:
(i) the erection of a building so that any part of the building is above the sun access plane shown on the sun access plane diagram is prohibited, unless that part of the building is a minor architectural roof feature,
(ii) despite subparagraph (i), variation of the sun access plane control established for the Civic Place site may be accepted if:
(A) the development generally complies with the design principles in the approved master plan for the site, and
(B) the development fully complies with clause 28 (2) (i), and
(C) at least 2 hours of solar access is provided to an area of not less than 6,000 square metres within the Civic Square, as shown on the map marked “Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No 28—Parramatta (Amendment No 6)—Parramatta City Centre—Special Areas Map, Sheet 10—Civic Place, Design Framework”, between 10 am and 2 pm during the winter solstice (22 June), and
(D) it is demonstrated that any additional overshadowing of the Lancer Barracks site is confined to an area that is less than 10% of the total site area and that, in the opinion of the NSW Heritage Office and the consent authority, the additional overshadowing will not cause adverse impact on the heritage significance of the site, including its landscaping, nor the carrying out of activities and events on the site.
(b) For the purposes of defining the sun access plane for the Civic Place site, the location of Civic Square will remain fixed up until such time as an application for its development is approved. Should consent be granted to the development of Civic Square, then all future development must comply with the sun access plane diagram based on the approved location.
(c) The consent authority may grant its consent to modification of Civic Square only if it is satisfied that the proposal complies with clause 28 (2) (i) and will have sufficient solar access pursuant to paragraph (a) (ii).
Height controls reflect the sun access principle in all other public places.
The objectives for the maximum floor space ratios in the City Centre Precinct are as follows:
(a) to provide sufficient development capacity to meet the Parramatta City Centre’s role,
(b) to relate growth in development capacity to improvements in public transport and internal circulation, with densities highest on land at or near Parramatta Railway Station and decreasing with distance from that station,
(c) to fix a maximum floor space ratio that provides for adequate open space, privacy between buildings, access for cars into and through the site, pedestrian through-site links and appropriate building addresses in the layout of the site,
(d) to fix a maximum floor space ratio that provides adequately for balconies, lift shafts, car parking access and ramps, external wall thickness, environmental objectives of natural ventilation and sunlight access, and urban design objectives of facade and rooftop articulation, in the design of buildings.
(a) The floor space ratio of buildings on land in the City Centre Precinct is not to exceed the maximum floor space ratio shown for the land on the City Centre Floor Space Ratio Map. The achievement of any floor space ratio is subject to compliance with the height controls and other provisions of this Plan.
(b) Regardless of any other provision of this Plan, Council-owned land that is being used for public access purposes, roads or laneways at the appointed day is not to be considered in the calculation of floor space ratios for the purposes of this Plan. This paragraph does not apply to land for which a masterplan is required under this plan.
(c) In addition, floor space must be distributed on Civic Place so that:
(i) when averaged across the whole Civic Place site, the development will not constitute a floor space ratio greater than 5.3:1, and
(ii) the development is generally consistent with the Master Plan Concept Design, particularly Figure 7.16 (Building Mass Diagram) of that Design, being that Design as incorporated in the master plan for Civic Place, and
(iii) sufficient solar access is provided to Civic Square on the site, and
(iv) it achieves the objectives for Civic Place as set out in clause 28 (2) (i).
The general objectives of the controls for Special Areas are as follows:
(a) to protect Special Areas from development incompatible with the particular character and significance of each Special Area,
(b) to reinforce the specific attributes and qualities of the built form of each of the Special Areas.
The consent authority, in considering a development application for land in or adjoining a Special Area within the City Centre Precinct, must have regard to the following:
(a) Church Street North: (i) whether the development will reinforce the sense of arrival into historic Parramatta, from St Patricks Cemetery to Lennox Bridge, with continuous urban low-scale buildings and continuous street alignments,
