Current Status
Council received a development application on 12 September 2007, lodged by REMO West Ryde Pty Limited for the development
of West Ryde Urban Village, involving the construction of a mixed use building, public plaza, roadworks and associated
landscaping, and a community facility building.
As part of the development application, the applicant also lodged a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA), proposing to the City
of Ryde, to provide infrastructure that would provide material public benefits in lieu of contributions towards the provision of
amenities and services and contributions in accordance with Section 94, 94A and 94EF of the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Act 1979.
The development application had been the subject of pre-lodgement meetings with Council staff and consideration by
the Council’s Urban Design Review Panel prior to lodgement.
The application was referred to the Roads and Traffic Authority, the State Transit Authority of NSW, Sydney Water, Energy
Australia and NSW Police for comment and advice and to satisfy statutory referral requirements.
An extensive notification and exhibition of the application were undertaken from 15 August 2007 to 27 September 2007.
Notification and exhibition of amended plans were undertaken from 23 October 2007 to 8 November 2007.
As the works proposed under the development application affect land in Council ownership, the assessment of the application
had been undertaken by independent consultants Architectus P/L and their report and the submissions on the DA were
reviewed by the Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel (IHAP).
The IHAP was conducted at the City of Ryde Civic Centre on 28 November 2007, and this included a meeting to enable any
member of the community to present their views to the Panel.
Council at its meeting of 11 December 2007 considered the matter and resolved to grant consent subject to appropriate conditions.
