In May 2024, the Government implemented the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) planning policy for areas within 400m of Roseville, Lindfield, Killara and Gordon stations.
On 5 June 2025, Council adopted an alternate preferred scenario which has been submitted to Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI).
More information about the TOD in Ku-ring-gai.
Latest update: 13 June 2025
On 13 June 2025 DPHI turned off the TOD for new development applications.
- This means that for the time being, new local development applications and state significant development applications can no longer be lodged under the TOD controls.
- Nor can applications be lodged under Council’s alternate planning controls until such time as they are implemented by DPHI.
- However applications can still be lodged under Council’s existing planning controls, KLEP 2015.
- The local development applications and state significant development applications that were lodged prior to turning off the TOD on 13 June have been ‘saved’ and the TOD controls will still apply to these applications.
- On 19 June, DPHI published updated maps under the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan (Housing) (Map)(PDF, 704KB). These maps identify the locations where local development applications and state significant development applications have been ‘saved’ and the TOD controls still apply.
What are State Significant Development (SSD) applications? And what is Council’s role?
SSD applications are for large scale or complex projects deemed important to the state for economic, environmental or social reasons. SSD applications are assessed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure and determined by the Minister for Planning or Independent Planning Commission. Council is notified of and invited to comment on SSD applications at the exhibition stage. Developments for in-fill affordable housing with a capital investment value (CIV) of more than $75 million qualify for a SSD application.
What is a secretary’s environmental assessment requirements (SEARs)?
SEARs identify what information needs to be included in the environmental impact statement (EIS). A request for SEARs must be made for all SSD projects before a development application can be submitted.
