Mayor's Community Message

12 November

GLADESVILLE WOOLWORTHS

Our community has expressed their concerns to Council regarding the scale and intensity of the proposed Woolworths development in Gladesville (363-373 Victoria Road & 44-48 Eltham Street, Gladesville) which would see a 14-storey mixed use development constructed.

We are inviting our community to voice their concerns by making an online submission via the NSW Planning Portal by Monday 17 November 2025.

Council will write to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) in relation to Council’s assessment of the building height and density and inadequate affordable housing provision. Council will also highlight the cumulative impacts of pending developments in the Gladesville area that will put further pressure on transport and infrastructure.

Council is in favour of development that increases housing supply and services for the community, provided it is balanced with infrastructure capacity and community needs.
