Quick Take

Under s 163 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021, 'walking distance' to a town centre is measured from the nearest part of the land to the boundary of the town centre as identified on the relevant town centres map, not from the pedestrian entry/exit of the proposed development to the entrance of a building within the town centre.
