The Planning Proposal applying to 183-185 Military Road, Neutral Bay (PP-2023-699) is on public exhibition from Friday 6 June 2025 until Tuesday 8 July 2025.
About the Planning Proposal
The subject site is located at 183-185 Military Road, Neutral Bay and comprises three (3) parcels of land (Lot 1 DP 34803 and Lots A and B DP 322525). It is currently zoned MU1 Mixed Use under the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2013.
Council resolved to refuse the Planning Proposal at its meeting on 27 November 2023 consistent with Council officers’ recommendation and that of the North Sydney Local Planning Panel.
The applicant subsequently lodged a rezoning review with the State Government which determined to allow the Planning Proposal to proceed to Gateway Determination contrary to Council’s endorsed position.
The Planning Proposal currently on exhibition seeks to amend the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan (NSLEP) 2013 to increase the maximum height of buildings from 16m to 43m and increase the non-residential floor space ratio from 0.5:1 to 2:1. The proposal seeks to facilitate a mixed use residential development up to 12 storeys comprising:
- 4 storeys of basement parking
- 4 storeys of commercial, including retail uses on the ground floor
- 8 storeys of residential (44 dwellings)
As the Planning Proposal is the result of a successful rezoning review, Council is not managing the plan making process. Submissions must be made to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) through the NSW Planning Portal.
