Town of Mosman Park is calling on its residents and community members to rally together and provide input into a draft Local Planning Policy that will help shape the future of the McCabe precinct that includes the existing Rocky Bay site.
The Town believes community feedback will be critical to inform the development of a new LPP which will give developers a clear vision of what the community needs and wants.
Preliminary consultation will take place from 12 September and will bring the Town a step closer to having a statutory document in place to guide the future character of the McCabe Street precinct.
Mayor Paul Shaw concedes that while any final decision on the existing Rocky Bay site is in the State Government’s hands, he is urging residents to have their say on how future redevelopment of the 2.8-hectare site can be sustainable, liveable, and fit for the future of Mosman Park.
“It’s important to Council that this incredibly important part of Mosman Park continues to deliver community benefits by making it welcoming and inclusive, as well as meet the needs and aspirations of the community,” says Mayor Shaw.
“People power is critical. We need everyone to rally. Your feedback will be absolutely critical to shaping how the McCabe precinct will look 10 years from now and beyond. So please, get involved and have your say.”
Rocky Bay Limited’s decision to continue their main operations outside of Mosman Park has been the impetus behind the development towards the draft LPP.
The LPP will set out high level character statements which will identify the existing character and the ‘desired future character’ for the site and the surrounding area. The existing and desired future character will be documented in the draft Policy, which will be presented to Council to seek formal public advertising in late 2022.
Community members will have until 3 October to complete the survey.
The Town will also be holding in-person and online information sessions in September and October. To take part and learn more, click here
