attractive, vibrant and sustainable urban place by capitalising on the
opportunities created by:(a) the area’s strategic location between Sydney’s most
significant economic gateways: the Central Business District, Kingsford Smith
Airport and Port Botany, and
(b) the construction of the New Southern Railway and Green Square
(2) Four key concepts sustain this vision:(a) DiversityThis applies to the development of a mix of land uses, a range of
building types, diverse public spaces, and employment and housing choices,
which will support a socially diverse community, underpinning a vibrant city
that offers complex experiences and social contact.
(b) ConnectivityThis applies to an accessible network of public spaces and public
streets, which integrate existing and future landscapes and
(c) InterdependencyThis applies to the need for compatibility between land uses, to
the high quality urban design response of buildings to public spaces, the
interdependency of the social and physical environment, and the relationship
of the Green Square area to the City South Region.
(d) Long-term growthThis applies to the development of an urban strategy that can
accommodate and support renewal and growth of Green Square into a compact
sustainable urban area over a long period of time.
27B Planning principles for Green SquareThe planning principles for Green Square are set out in Schedule

Schedule 4 Planning principles for Green Square(Clause 27B)(1) Regional roleDevelopment in Green Square is to contribute to the status of the
area as an important commercial and residential location, strategically
positioned between Port Botany, Kingsford Smith Airport and the Sydney
CBD.Development in Green Square is to promote a compact working and
living environment to maximise the efficient use of resources and
infrastructure provision.Development in Green Square is to benefit, in a physical, social,
economic and environmental manner, the existing communities within South
Sydney and the people of the City South Region.(2) Integrated planning and developmentPlanning and development in Green Square are to ensure that
social, economic, environmental and urban design issues are considered
together and with proper regard for their mutual and cumulative impacts. This
principle of integration is to be reflected at all stages of the planning and
development process—planning, implementation and
evaluation.The planning and development processes in Green Square are to take
into account the impact and effect of development on the people of Green
Square and the quality of the spaces in which they live and work and in which
they become part of and contribute to successful urban
communities.(3) Public domainDevelopment is to define and contribute to the public domain so as
to create a high quality physical setting for buildings, which is safe and
accessible and can be enjoyed by residents and workers.Development of the public domain is to enhance the integration
between the precincts within Green Square and surrounding areas. A system of
interconnected streets, pedestrian/bicycle networks and open space/waterway
reserves and corridors is to provide the structural framework of this public
domain. There are two main axes to this framework, formed by the E–W
avenue linking Green Square Railway Station to South Dowling Street, and the
N–S links providing the further connection to Moore Park.Development is to promote a street pattern that reinforces and
supplements the existing street pattern of some of the smaller blocks in Green
Square and integrates functional and environmental demands.Development is to facilitate the creation of a system of channels
and ponds to improve storm and ground water management, and to develop a theme
to enhance the public domain and image of Green Square.Development for the purpose of public art within Green Square
should be consistent with the Green Square Public
Art and Water Features Strategy adopted by the Council on 6
June 2001 (as amended by the Council from time to
time).(4) Urban formUrban form in Green Square is to reflect its location in relation
to transport nodes and existing residential precincts, be architecturally rich
and diverse, achieve a high level of amenity, define and enhance the public
domain and allow for mixed uses.Development is to provide a variety of building types selected to
complement the locality, landform and precinct character, and designed to be
responsive to environmental conditions such as noise, orientation, aspect and
air pollution.Building form within specific blocks is to be articulated both in
height and mass to provide interest, resolve urban design and environmental
issues and satisfy other planning principles for Green Square.Buildings are to be of high quality and adaptable to a variety of
uses over time, to ensure their long life.The integrity of heritage items, contributory buildings and
significant landscape elements is to be protected and
enhanced.(5) Economic and community lifeDevelopment is to provide a variety of housing (including
affordable housing) to accommodate a range of income groups and social
diversity, increase housing choice and flexibility, encourage employment-based
activities and contribute to the creation of a range of precincts with
character.Development in Green Square is to provide an appropriate
proportion of affordable housing to ensure that very low to moderate income
households can continue to live in Green Square.Development in Green Square is to contribute to an integrated
mixed-use development pattern (both vertical and horizontal) containing a wide
range of housing and employment opportunities, combined with educational,
recreational and cultural facilities.Development is to facilitate the increase and diversity of
employment opportunities, which are to be compatible with achieving a high
quality mixed living and working environment.Activities along the main street frontage are to enhance the
public domain and enrich pedestrian activity. There must be adequate provision
of a range of small scale retail and neighbourhood facilities, concentrated
along major pedestrian routes and around public spaces.Development is to recognise and enhance the existing residential
communities within Green Square.Development is to facilitate the timely provision of recreational
and community facilities and public open space within Green Square, to support
the increase in residents and workers. These facilities and amenities are to
be integrated with the pattern of distribution of existing facilities and
amenities within Green Square and surrounding areas.Potential conflict between existing and future land uses is to be
managed (by design and operational controls) so as to minimise the impacts of
one on the other, and so that future development within Green Square can
co-exist with land uses in adjoining land zoned industrial under this
plan.(6) Transport and accessGreen Square Railway Station is to be established as a focus for
inter-connecting transport facilities. Development in Green Square is to
contribute to and support this function.Development in Green Square is to promote the reduction of motor
vehicle dependency and actively encourage the use of public transport, walking
and cycling.Integrated public domain improvements and pedestrian and cycle
routes/facilities are to be provided throughout Green Square.A barrier free environment for people with disabilities and
mobility difficulties is to be created to ensure access equity.Parking provision and management in Green Square is to acknowledge
travel demand management principles, discourage excessive car ownership and
usage levels by residents, and discourage car travel by commuters and other
users. The location and intensity of development is to be oriented towards
maximum potential for use of public transport.(7) Environmental performanceDevelopment is to create a safe and comfortable environment for
residents and workers in both the private and public space, by “best
practice” design to ensure buildings and spaces achieve maximum
environmental performance and minimum resources use.Development is to be designed having regard to:wind effect, reflectivity, noise attenuation, solar access and
energy conservation, water conservation and re-use, stormwater management, use
of recycled materials and waste reduction.The development of the public domain and open spaces must
contribute to greater bio-diversity, habitat protection and enhancement, and
air and water quality.(8) Quality of designBuildings and the public domain are to be of a high quality in
both design and materials. The public domain, being the network of public
spaces, streets and squares, is to be designed as purposefully as the built
form. Buildings are to support and be integrated into this public domain
network to achieve coherence and purpose. Buildings are to be of a high
quality, articulated both in height and mass.(9) ImplementationThrough the redevelopment process, development is to efficiently
use the existing infrastructure within Green Square and provide new physical
and social infrastructure.Schedule 5 Gross floor area and land use mix for specified
