Background

The planning proposal is seeking your feedback on amending the Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021 for 263,273 and 273A Coward Street, Mascot for multilevel warehouses at 263, 273 and 273A Coward Street, Mascot.

The proposal aims to amend the Floor Space Ratio (FSR) controls to deliver industrial floor space close to the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) and international trade gateways (Sydney Airport and Port Botany), and to provide for office and food-related uses.

What is being proposed?

These amendments include:

• Increasing the Floor Space Ratio (FSR) development standard from 1.2:1 to 2:1,
• Removing Additional Permitted Use (APU) 14 from Schedule 1 of the LEP, which allows an FSR of 1.5:1 if the uses relate to the operation of Sydney Airport, and
• Inserting an APU that allows ‘office premises’ (to a maximum of 5% of total floor space), and ‘restaurants and/or café’ uses (food or drink premises).
