Public Exhibition - Have Your Say

Exhibition of a Planning Proposal and draft Development Control Plan

Korean and Simplified Chinese summaries are available.

The City of Parramatta Council is publicly exhibiting a Planning Proposal and draft Development Control Plan (DCP) for land at 53-61 Rawson Street, Epping. The site is currently occupied by a Coles Supermarket and an office building.

This Planning Proposal seeks to amend the existing planning controls to facilitate a future two tower (36 and 33 storey) mixed-use redevelopment at 53-61 Rawson Street, Epping. The objective of the Planning Proposal is to increase the site’s total permissible commercial floorspace and associated building heights.

It is envisioned the future mixed used redevelopment would include a full line supermarket, ground floor retail (shops, cafes, restaurants), approximately 7,430 sqm of office space and 420 apartments. Any development would be subject to a future Development Application.

Specifically, the Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023 (LEP) as follows:

Existing LEP Controls

Proposed LEP Controls

Maximum Building Height (HOB)

48m

Part 122m, part 112m, part 22m
