Active street frontages
160 Active street frontages
The objective of this section is to ensure active street frontages for residential flat buildings and buildings containing independent living units in Zone E1 Local Centre in Transport Oriented Development Areas to encourage the presence and movement of people.
This section applies to development for the purposes of residential flat buildings or buildings containing independent living units on land in the following zones in a Transport Oriented Development Area—
Zone E1 Local Centre or an equivalent land use zone,
for land in the Canterbury-Bankstown local government area—Zone B2 Local Centre.
Development consent must not be granted unless the consent authority is satisfied the building will have an active street frontage.
A residential flat building or a building containing an independent living unit has an active street frontage if the ground floor has building design elements that encourage interaction between the inside of the building and the external public areas adjoining the building.
This section prevails over a provision of another environmental planning instrument that requires an active street frontage for development on land to which this section applies.
