New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsLocal retail centres are to incorporate a range of small-scale shops and
business uses at street level with offices or low-rise shop-top housing (being
housing not on the ground floor) above to create places with a village-like
atmosphere that provide a safe and comfortable environment for pedestrians and
a range of business and community uses meeting the needs of the surrounding
area.
Development is to integrate with the established pattern of the centre and the
continuity of existing streetscapes is to be maintained.
The building height in local retail centres is to accord with the height limit
for the applicable locality, unless the Locality Statement provides otherwise.
Development that adjoins residential land is not to reduce the amenity enjoyed
by adjoining occupants. In this regard the built form of development in the
local retail centre is to provide a transition to adjacent residential
development, including reasonable setbacks from side and rear boundaries,
particularly at the first floor level.
Other built form controls set out in a Locality Statement which are not
specifically addressed to a local retail centre are not to be considered.
Note: The location of local retail centres is shown on the map.
