Following the receipt of advice from the Independent Planning Commission (IPC), I have declared the City of Sydney\u2019s proposal for a new square opposite Sydney Town Hall as State Significant Development (SSD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IPC considered information on the proposal provided by both the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, and City of Sydney and advised the project is of State and Regional planning significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IPC\u2019s advice on the Town Hall Square proposal was published earlier today and is available in full at Town Hall Square – Request for advice on State or regional planning significance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consequently, I am using my authority under section 4.36 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979<\/em> to declare the proposal SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposal will be delegated to the IPC for determination should the City of Sydney submit an SSD development application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This process will allow for a rigorous whole-of-government assessment by the Department and provide an opportunity for individuals, the community, and other stakeholders to have their say on any development application before its determination by the IPC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following the receipt of advice from the Independent Planning Commission (IPC), I have declared the City of Sydney\u2019s proposal for a new square opposite Sydney Town Hall as State Significant Development (SSD).
