This report along with supporting documents supports the rezoning of Phase 1 of the Vineyard Precinct (the area). Rezoning the area responds to the demands of Sydney's future population growth by delivering an additional 2,300 homes within the North West Growth Area. The rezoning of the area facilitates the Government's housing objectives identified in the Draft Greater Sydney Regional Plan and the draft Western City District Plan and will contribute to the supply of land in Sydney that is development-ready for housing.
The north west growing area is benefiting from major infrastructure investment with the construction of Sydney Metro Northwest, the upgrade of Schofields Road from two lanes to four lanes and the planned widening and upgrade of Bandon Road linking Windsor and Richmond roads. The area can now be redeveloped as services are in place: sewerage and water are available for the entire level 1 area, and electricity is available immediately for up to 500 plots, with full capacity available within 5 years. A discussion of the main issues can be found in Section 4 and a summary of all submissions and the Department of Planning and Environment's (Department) response can be found in Appendix B.
The relocation of pocket parks in the north-east and south of the area to distribute them equitably and minimize the impact on individual land ownership. Electricity capacity currently exists for 500 lots from existing 11kV feeders to the area originating from the existing Riverstone zone substation.

This section discusses the issues raised in submissions and those raised in ongoing discussions with government agencies and key stakeholders. Post-exhibition changes were made to the ILP as a result of the Department's review of submissions. The changes made to the ILP since exhibition are summarized in Section 5 and discussed below.
The key issues raised in submissions are considered in detail in this section, while Appendix B provides responses to individual submissions.

Placement of Open Space
Pedestrian and cyclist connections within the area are planned to connect with the passive open space located along the coastal corridor. The playing fields will be located on partially enclosed land near the coastal corridor that is subject to flooding and not suitable for residential development.
Changes to Open Space
The open space in the middle of the site has been increased to accommodate the retention of an additional 1.27 ha of ENV as shown in Figure 2. The playing fields have been moved to the north to accommodate an additional 2.45 ha of ENV. Several design options were considered and the preferred option was selected to achieve a balance between preserving the ENV, minimizing impacts on developed urban land and ensuring the playing fields are located on relatively flat land adjacent to other areas of open space.
The pocket park to the west of Harkness Road has been moved slightly to the northwest to respond to the realignment of a collector road (see Section 4.6.3 and Figure 5). Following the detailed design of the future intersection of Otago Street and Windsor Road (see Section 4.6.1), the location of the open space connecting areas north and south of the Killarney chain of dams has also been reviewed. The open space has been moved to the west to maintain its alignment with the proposed local road and is therefore located partly on 621 and 627 Windsor Road rather than entirely on 627 Windsor Road as shown.

Water, Sewer and Electricity
There is electrical capacity for 500 lots from the existing 11 kV feeders in the area which originate from the existing substation of the Riverstone area. Further capacity for up to 1,000 lots will be available in about two years when Endeavor Energy carries out addition works to the 11kV network upstream. Power capacity for the entire Phase 1 area will be available once the Box Hill and Riverstone East area substations in the neighboring discharge areas are delivered.
Endeavor Energy will monitor the rate of residential development on a regular basis to ensure that capacity upgrades will be available in a timely manner for the area. Developers will have to make arrangements through accredited service providers for their 11kV network and extension of 11kV network to their subdivision. Endeavor Energy has changed funding schemes so that 11kV grid networks and extensions to new subdivisions will be reimbursed to developers based on standard rates.
This addresses the "first mover" disadvantage of providing electrical infrastructure in fragmented ownership areas such as area area.

Proposed design of Windsor Road/Otago Street Intersection
Widening of Collector Road Routes to 20.8m and intersection land take
Transport for NSW requested that a 13m wide carriageway be provided to enable bus movements, therefore widening the total road reservation to 20.8m. An extra 0.8m of road reserve is required to accommodate the land use types within the reserve to achieve the wide road level of 13m.

The Department worked with the RMS post-exhibition to design this future intersection to ensure that the required amount of land would be shown on the Land Reservation Acquisition Map. To ensure bus-capable collector roads, the existing road reserve forming collector routes will be widened from 20m to 20.8m. The proposed location of the raingarden at 3 Putland Place would have required the demolition of an existing dwelling.
The Raingarden has been relocated to a site nearby (9 O'Dell Street) that will not require the demolition of any existing residences. The area at Lot 3 DP 248509 (5 O’Dell Street) above the 1:100 flood line has been changed from R2 Low Density Residential to E4 Environmental Residential. Lot Size To provide subdivision options for the area of the lot that is isolated by a local road.
Lot size To align the minimum lot size with land located above the 1:100 flood line. Plot size. Isolated parts of the battleaxes would not be able to meet the minimum lot size control if they kept 10,000m2.
