RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE REZONING IN FAIRFIELD, FAIRFIELD HEIGHTS, FAIRFIELD EAST AND VILLAWOOD PRECINCTS Council’s Outcomes Committee at its meeting held on 14 July 2020 resolved to publicly re-exhibit a Planning Proposal in accordance with the NSW Department of Planning, Infrastructure & Environment’s Gateway Determination.

Included with the Gateway Determination, the Minister has also delegated his plan making powers to Fairfield City Council to exercise delegation in the making of this Planning Proposal under Section 3.36 of the EP& A Act 1979.

Land Affected: Certain land within the suburbs of Fairfield, Fairfield Heights, Fairfield East and Villawood – refer to map.

Background information: As part of Council’s implementation of its Fairfield Residential Strategy East 2009, in July 2015 Council resolved to proceed with a planning proposal to upzone residential precincts in east of the Cumberland Highway as well as rezone Council owned land at 2-10 Jacaranda Court, Fairfield East to Zone RE1 Public Recreation to reflect its land use. The planning proposal was exhibited for 42 days between 2 March and 15 April 2016 inclusive.

Submissions from public agencies necessitated traffic and flooding modelling to determine the impact of the planning proposal as well as any ameliorative measures. Flood modelling indicates that in order for the intensification of development to proceed, three detention basins are required in the Fairfield, Fairfield Heights and Villawood precincts.

Work undertaken for Council’s Open Space Strategy has highlighted areas of open space deficiency in the affected areas. In order to address the need for detention basins and open space needs, a re-exhibition of the planning proposal is required with the areas identified for dual use detention basins/open space and neighbourhood parks to be shown as Zone RE1 Public Recreation.

Aim of Proposal: To meet State Government dwelling targets in areas close to facilities, services and public transport that is supported by stormwater drainage infrastructure (detention basins) and neighbourhood parks to meet the needs of residents by undertaking the following rezoning:

Fairfield• Rezone R3 Medium Density Residential land in the

vicinity of Fairfield Town Centre to Zone R4 High Density Residential and amend associated Floor Space Ratio & Building Height Maps,

• Rezone land at 98A and 100 Sackville Street, and 101 to 117 Harris Street from Zone R3 Medium Density Residential to Zone RE1 Public Recreation and amend associated Floor Space Ratio and Height of Building Maps,
