Mr Michael Edgar General Manager The Hills Shire Council PO Box 7064

Dear Mr Edgar
Planning proposal PP_2019_THILL_010_01 – Alteration of Gateway Determination
I refer to your letter seeking an extension of time to complete the planning proposal PP_2019_THILL_010_00 to facilitate an increase in commercial floor space for land at 2-4 Burbank Place, Norwest by amending the floor space ratio from 1.4:1 to 2.8:1 and building height from RL116m to RL126m for part of the site under The Hills LEP 2019.
I have determined as the delegate of the Minister, in accordance with section 3.34(7) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, to alter the Gateway determination dated 24 February 2020 for PP_2019_THILL_010_00. The Alteration of Gateway determination is enclosed.
The amending local environmental plan (LEP) is to be finalised by 30 September 2021. To ensure the finalisation date is met, key milestone dates have been inserted into the Gateway condition. The Department notes that a key issue that has limited progress of the planning proposal to public exhibition to this point is the timely provision of information by the applicant. In response, we have included a milestone for the provision of this additional information to Council. Please advise the
Department if this first milestone is not achieved.
Generally, if timeframes are not met, the Department may decide to amend the Gateway so that the planning proposal does not proceed, following discussion with Council.
Council’s request to draft and finalise the LEP should be made directly to
Parliamentary Counsel’s Office six weeks prior to the projected publication date. A copy of the request should be forwarded to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.
If you have any questions in relation to this matter, I have arranged for Elizabeth Kimbell to assist you. Ms Kimbell can be contacted on 9860 1521.
