Additional information with NO CHANGE to Recommendation ITEM 12 F2007/00599-03 – Executive Manager’s Report No. PLN130/08 – Ku-ringgai and Hornsby Subregional Employment Study Executive Manager’s Report No. PLN130/08 presents the findings of the draft Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby Subregional Employment Study and seeks endorsement of the Study for public exhibition.
Items on Agenda for Planning Meeting No. 10/08 – 18 June 2008 Page 5 At a joint presentation of the draft Study at Ku-ring-gai Council on 3 June 2008, the consultant was asked to clarify comments concerning the Dural Service Centre, contained within Table Nos. 2, 42 and 45. It was noted that Table 2 (pg 20) and Table 45 (pg 192) recommend the IN2 and B2 zones for Dural Service Centre. However, the notes provided as commentary within the tables comment (in part) that: “In order to introduce some additional variety of local service uses, a part of the Dural Service Centre could be zoned B2 or B5.” It was also noted that Table 42 (page 171) of the draft Study comments that: “Recommended zoning for the Dural Service Centre is IN2 – Light Industrial. In order to allow a wider range of uses a specific area could be set aside as B2 Local Centre and/or B5 Business Development to permit additional desirable uses that are not permissible in the IN2 zone.” At the joint presentation the consultant gave an undertaking to review the notes within the Tables in respect of their consistency with the Study’s recommendation of the application template zones IN2 and B2. The consultant has reviewed the notes within the Tables and provides the following comments in respect of SGS’s consideration of the B5 zone, in lieu of the B2 zone recommended in the draft Study: We recommend reinforcing the local service role of the Dural Service Centre- broadening its local service function without jeopardising the economic growth of centres that are better placed with respect to public transport infrastructure and therefore better suited as employment destinations. We initially considered applying an industrial zone to Dural Service Centre with additional permissible uses, and another more conventional industrial zone to all other industrial areas in the Local Government Area (LGA). We decided against this as one industrial zone applied to all other industrial areas did not properly account for the different functions these industrial areas perform. IN2 Light Industrial plus B5 Business Development zoning was considered. A B5 zone was specifically considered as this would take account of the existing mixed nature of activity within the Dural Service Centre (DSC). There are three issues with applying a B5 zone at Dural Service Centre: (i) The DSC context is very different to the locations where B5 is applied elsewhere in the LGA; (ii) The final range of permissible land uses (still to be determined) for the B5 zone may not support the intended range of service functions; and (iii) Permissible uses under the B5 zone have the potential to draw trade from a wide catchment, this is at odds with the poor public transport infrastructure access at DSC. Each of these issues is discussed below. Other areas where the B5 zone is applied in the LGA are very different in character and function from the DSC and it is difficult to imagine a scenario whereby the one zoning could be applied to these areas and the Dural Service Centre. In particular the use of additional zone objectives (to tailor the B5 zone for the needs of Hornsby
