This Webinar is a deep dive into the process of developing an alternative scenario to the TOD policy by Ku-ring-gai Council for its four TOD centres of Gordon, Killara, Lindfield and Roseville.

In May 2024 the Transport-Oriented Development SEPP (TOD SEPP) was introduced. The TOD SEPP allows 6-7-storey apartment buildings to be built near selected Sydney railway stations regardless of existing local zoning and height controls. In Ku-ring-gai, land generally within a 400m radius of Gordon, Killara, Lindfield and Roseville stations is subject to the provisions of the TOD SEPP.

The NSW Government estimated the TOD SEPP will deliver 22,580 new dwellings in Ku-ring-gai over the next 15 years. In response Council investigated ways to deliver housing while at the same time protecting Ku-ring-gai’s heritage and environmental assets, using evidence-based local data, the community’s aspirations for future Ku-ring-gai, and a series of guiding planning principles established by Council.
