  3. Overview • Epping Town Centre Study 2010-2011 • HSC sent it to NSW Govt mid 2012 • HSC requested UAP funding (Budget) • Delayed by NWRL planning • UAP decided by Minister Nov 2012 • These plans announced Sat 16 March • On display on web, Library, and Epping Club 6/4, 10/4 • Exhibition closes Wed 30 April • Submissions by then from residents (objections, or support) • Next step – rezoning gazetted by Minister (by Nov?)

  4. Overview • High-rise residential buildings (up to 22 storey on podiums) in the CBD, • Medium rise in residential areas within 800m of the station (we are one of these areas) • Potentially 4,000+ more dwellings (over 50% increase) along with Channel 7 site coming on-line • 35% more cars to add to the gridlock; with no major road works and with little parking provided • Little new parkland, no increase in School spaces • No 'green city' ideas, no non-lift 'at grade' pedestrian access over the Beecroft Road/Railway • Council Car Park impacted?  Coles? • Less commercial, much more residential

  5. Our Area – ETCS 2011

  6. Our Area – UAP 2013

  7. Our Area zoning • The whole block Cliff/Carlingford/Kent is ‘P’ = R3 max height 18m or 5 storeys medium density • Part block where Baptist Church is ‘T’ = 8 Storeys • All Rosebank is 2 storey ‘Heritage Conservation • All Hazelwood is ‘M’ = 12m or 3 storeys medium dens. • Cliff (north side) from the bend is ‘M’ = 12m or 3 storeys medium dens. • Kent north of Cliff, to reserve is also ‘M’ or 3 storeys • NB: There are changes from the prior ETCS • NB: All medium density areas – car parking underground

  8. How we are affected individually Height (m) Approx Storeys Street House Nos. (as best we can see) • 28m – 8 storeys - Cliff Road: No. 8, 10, 1/12, 2/12, 1/14, 2/14 • 18m - 5 storeys - Cliff Road: No. 1, 1B, 1/3, 2/3, 5, 5A, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35 and 16, 16A • 18m – 5 storeys - Kent Street: No. 42C • 18m – 5 storeys - Carlingford Road: No. 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 18A, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 38 • 12m – 3 storeys - Kent Street: No. 44, 46, 48, 50, 52 • 12m – 3 storeys - Cliff Road: No. 18, 20, 22A, 22B, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 • 12m – 3 storeys - Hazelwood Place: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 • 2 storey Rosebank Avenue - All low density - Heritage zone

  9. Questions – Floor ratio? • N=1, S=1.5, T=2 • FSR means Gross Liveable Floor Area divided by total site area ie. an FSI of 2.0 would indicate that the total floor area of a building is two times the gross area of the plot on which it is constructed.

  10. Questions – various that you may like to ask of DP&I • Why the changes in allowable height from the ETCS? Eg. Parts of Cliff Rd now 3 storeys not 5, but parts of Kent now 3 storey when they were 2 storey! Advice from DP&I is to give a ‘step-down’ from higher areas as they adjoin 2 storey dwellings. No shadowing applies as they are south. • Why are 5 blocks in Cliff Road 5 storey area, labelled ‘heritage’?

  11. Letters / petitions? • Some have drafted up sample letters so far on these issues: • To increase all heights in Cliff Road to 5 • Delete ‘heritage’ houses in Cliff • Oppose extension to the exhibition period

  14. ‘Common Good’ • Remember, the Common Good Group was formed to ensure the interests of the residents of our precinct (Cliff and Carlingford Roads etc.). are not disadvantaged as the result of the proposed development in Epping, NSW.Our commitment to each other:• To cooperate and work for the common good of our neighbours in our dealings with developers.• To inform any developer who approaches us that we are working in cooperation with our neighbours, and any dealings will need to be discussed with the group before proceeding further.• To not enter into any agreement with a developer without first advising the “Common Good Group”.• To pool our expertise and knowledge, and to communicate regularly with each other.
