2 Background The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the use of the subject site for the purposes of Senior Housing. The standard instrument defines seniors housing as: “seniors housing means a building or place that is: (a) a residential care facility, or (b) a hostel within the meaning of clause 12 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004, or (c) a group of self-contained dwellings, or (d) a combination of any of the buildings or places referred to in paragraphs (a)–(c), and that is, or is intended to be, used permanently for: (e) seniors or people who have a disability, or (f) people who live in the same household with seniors or people who have a disability, or (g) staff employed to assist in the administration of the building or place or in the provision of services to persons living in the building or place, but does not include a hospital.” Warrigal Care, the owner of the subject site, is a not-for-profit public benevolent aged care provider. They provide aged care and retirement services to the public and currently operate seven residential aged care home, seven independent living villages, two day respite programs and three community aged care services across NSW. If the site is rezoned, Warrigal Care will lodge a Development Application for an integrated multi-storey aged care and seniors living development on the site, to provide a range of ongoing services, including: • High Care; • Low Care; • Dementia specific care; • Self care (independent living); • Day respite; and • Community care services. Warrigal Care purchased the subject sites (No. 1 and 25 Beach Street) on 5 May 2006 and (No. 208-212 Corrimal Street) on 27 June 2007. A Site Compatibility Certificate was issued by the Director-General of the Department of Planning on 19 August 2010, current for two years. Warrigal Care – Planning Proposal 3
3 The site and its locality Wollongong is a seaside regional city located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. It lies on the narrow coastal strip between the Illawarra escarpment and the Pacific Ocean, 82km south of Sydney (Annexure C). The subject site comprises Lots 35, 36, 37 DP 19969 (No. 208-212) Corrimal Street, Lots A, B & C DP 401196 (No. 25) and Lot 38 DP 19969 (No. 1) Beach Street, Wollongong (Annexure D) which occupy the south-western corner of the intersection of Beach and Corrimal Street, Wollongong. The site’s primary frontage is to Beach Street (111.4m) and secondary frontage to Corrimal Street (42.67m). Total site area is 11,475m². Relatively flat, the site has only a slight fall in grade to the tributary of Gurungary Waterway that adjoins most of the southern boundary of the site (Annexure E). The tributary of Gurungaty Waterway is vegetated with trees along the northern bank. The tributary originates from within Wollongong Golf Course, is piped under Corrimal Street in a south-westerly direction before turning south under Swan Street and winding its way generally through J.J. Kelly Park through to Port Kembla Inner Harbour. Lots 35-37 in DP 19969, an area of 2068m² has a number of disused underground storage tanks (USTs) to the east. Lot 38 in DP 19969 comprises an area of 615m² and includes a vacant dwelling and small shed. Lots A, B and C in DP 401196, with an area of 8778m² are occupied by four brick buildings and four sheds which have been developed and used for a variety of light industrial uses over a number of years. UST is in the central portion of the site. The site makes up most, but not all, of the street block north of the waterway. The subject site is occupied by a number of buildings currently utilised for commercial offices, light industrial uses and a dwelling. 4 Part 1 - Objectives or intended outcomes The objective of this planning proposal is to allow the subject land to be used for the purposes of seniors housing. The subject site is an obvious location for seniors housing but the current planning provisions relating to the B6 Enterprise Corridor zone limit the potential for the site to be used for such purposes. Rezoning of the subject land to permit seniors housing would reinstate a formerly permissible use on the site. Warrigal Care – Planning Proposal 4
