Vision
Ryde Town Centre will be an attractive place to live, work and visit. The future character of Ryde Town Centre will build on its historic role as a community and retail hub catering for leisure, learning, shopping and business.
Background
Renamed Ryde Town Centre to acknowledge its important historic role as one of Australia's earliest settlements and as a centre for the Ryde community with Churches and community facilities, Ryde Public School, Council's Civic Centre and library, Ryde Park, residential and shopping areas. Ryde Town Centre also has a location advantage being at the junction of major roads and strategic bus corridors.
Planning Controls for Ryde Town Centre
Local Environment Plan (LEP) No 143 will see Top Ryde revitalised as a modern shopping, entertainment and commercial area. It is part of a set of plans that will guide the design of new buildings and streetscapes and the provision of public domain spaces and community facilities.
The LEP aims to build on the strengths of the area, to encourage a mix of land-uses, enhance shopping and entertainment, improve bus amenities, expand community facilities and promote new development. It also sets objectives for enhancing the civic role of the area, sustainability and improved design.
LEP 143 prescribes development standards for height and permissible land uses and establishes several character precincts.
Development Control Plan 56 provides detailed design guidance to the LEP.
LEP 143 and DCP 56 are supported by the Ryde Town Centre Public Domain Plan. The public domain plan describes Council's vision for smart paving, street trees, outdoor dining and public art while the development control plan gives detailed urban design guidelines.
