Public meeting notification

The community will be able to have their say in a public meeting on a development application (SSD-49653211) for public domain works, landscaping, construction and operation of a new pedestrian bridge and upgrades to the existing pedestrian bridge associated with the approved concept plan for the Harbourside Shopping Centre Redevelopment. The proposed development is located within the Darling Harbour precinct at 2-10 Darling Drive, Darling Harbour. 

The decision on whether the development application will be given planning approval has been referred to the Independent Planning Commission because the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure received at least 50 public submissions objecting to the proposal. Commissioners Mr Andrew Mills (Panel Chair), Mr Richard Pearson and Mrs Shelley Penn AM have been appointed by the Commission Chair to determine the application.

Key issues identified in the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure’s whole-of-government assessment of the development application include the existing concept approval and design excellence, landscaping, operational noise impacts and construction related impacts.

The Commission has access to all previous written submissions made to the Department on this proposed development, however it is particularly helpful for the Commission Panel to also hear the community’s views following the Department’s assessment of the key issues and its recommended conditions of consent. These documents are available on the Commission’s website.

A livestreamed public meeting on the proposed development will be held at the Independent Planning Commission offices at Level 15, 135 King Street Sydney 2000 on Wednesday 21 May 2025 (10:00AM AEST start). Registered speakers will be able to present either in person or virtually over video link (via Zoom) or telephone. Anyone wishing to present at the public meeting – either in person or virtually – must pre-register on the Commission’s website using the Speaker Registration Form. The deadline for speaker registrations is 12:00PM AEST (noon) on Tuesday 13 May 2025.

​The public meeting will be livestreamed on the Commission’s website and viewable online in real time. Any members of the public that are not registering to speak but wish to observe the public meeting in person are requested to register their interest in attending the meeting in person using the Attendance Register

The Commission is also inviting members of the public to make written submissions via the ‘Make a Submission’ portal on the Commission’s website. The Commission will also accept submissions made via post or email. Written submissions will be accepted until 5:00pm on Monday 26 May 2025.

 

Please note
Registered speakers for the public meeting will be asked to indicate a preference for presenting to the Commission Panel either in-person at the venue or virtually (i.e. via Zoom video link or telephone). All members of the public who wish to attend the public meeting to observe must pre-register.
