Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015

The objectives of this clause are as follows—

to create a mixed use development precinct that has health services facilities and residential accommodation located adjacent to the Sutherland Hospital and within walking distance of Caringbah Centre,

to provide employment opportunities and promote economic growth for Sutherland Shire through synergies with the existing medical facilities of Sutherland and Kareena Hospitals,

to be a catalyst for the revitalisation of Caringbah Centre,

to ensure that there are high quality areas of private and public domain, with deep soil setbacks for the planting of substantial landscaping including large scale indigenous trees which will complement the scale of buildings up to 6 storeys, particularly in the building setbacks adjacent to Kingsway, Caringbah,

to protect the amenity of the adjacent areas by providing a transition to adjacent 2-storey residential development, including reasonable setbacks from side and rear boundaries and the maintenance of a transitional scale of building height to Flide Street, Caringbah,

to improve safety and traffic flow by limiting vehicle access from Kingsway, Caringbah, to redevelopment sites.

This clause applies to the land known as Caringbah Medical Precinct and identified as “Area 7” on the Height of Buildings Map and the Floor Space Ratio Map.

Despite any other provision of this Plan relating to the purposes for which development may be carried out, development consent may be granted for development for the purposes of a health services facility on land to which this clause applies.

Despite clause 4.3(2), the height of a building on land to which this clause applies may exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map by an additional 11 metres if—

the building contains a health services facility, and

the building provides a transitional scale of building height to Flide Street, Caringbah, and

the building setbacks are sufficient for the deep soil planting of substantial landscaping, including large scale indigenous trees on Kingsway frontage at Caringbah.

Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building on land to which this clause applies may exceed the maximum floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map by an additional 1.45:1 if—

the building is on land identified as “Area 7” on the Floor Space Ratio Map, and

the building contains a health services facility, and

the building provides a transitional scale of building height to Flide Street, Caringbah, and

the building setbacks are sufficient for the deep soil planting of substantial landscaping, including large scale indigenous trees on Kingsway frontage at Caringbah.
