BAYSIDE TOWN PLANNING

DEVELOPING IN BAYSIDE
Development within the Bayside Council area is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, established neighbourhood character, major transport infrastructure and the area’s diverse mix of residential, commercial and industrial land.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require careful consideration of building height and density, setbacks, privacy and overshadowing, heritage, traffic and parking, flooding and stormwater, contamination and constraints associated with Sydney Airport and surrounding infrastructure.
Understanding these planning considerations early can help identify potential issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
