DRAFT MOSMAN MASTERPLAN ENDORSED FOR NEXT STEPS

Council has endorsed a draft Mosman Masterplan and a draft Affordable Housing Contributions Scheme, to be submitted to the State Government for review.

Councillors voted unanimously at an Extraordinary Council Meeting on 26 August to proceed, with consideration to submissions made by 25 community members who addressed the meeting. This was on the back of thousands of submissions made during the early community engagement period.

The plan sets out a long-term framework to guide growth, housing diversity, public domain improvements, sustainability outcomes and investment in local infrastructure while protecting the unique character and heritage values that make Mosman a highly valued place to live, work and visit.

The endorsed package includes a range of supporting studies covering urban design, transport, heritage, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, biodiversity, flooding, stormwater management, affordable housing and community feedback.

The draft Masterplan represents one of the most significant strategic planning initiatives undertaken by Council in recent decades. Developed in response to NSW Government housing reforms and informed by extensive technical analysis and one of the largest community engagement programs ever conducted in Mosman, the Masterplan provides a locally led, evidence-based framework for managing growth while preserving the unique qualities that define the municipality.

Following Council's endorsement, a planning proposal will be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for assessment and review.

Subject to the department's approval, the proposal will proceed to formal public exhibition, providing the community with a further opportunity to review the detailed planning controls and provide feedback before any final amendments are considered. The Affordable Housing Contributions Scheme will also follow the relevant statutory assessment and exhibition process.

Council will continue to work closely with the State Government, stakeholders and the community throughout the next stages of the planning process.
