Exhibition of a Planning Proposal for 38-50 South Street, Rydalmere

Overview of Planning Proposal 

City of Parramatta Council is publicly exhibiting a Planning Proposal for land at 38-50 South Street, Rydalmere. The site contains existing industrial warehouses and is known as the Metro Centre. Within the site is a local heritage item (#694), identified as ‘Truganini House and grounds’.

For more information, please visit Council’s community engagement portal, Participate Parramatta.

Changes to Planning Controls

This Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023 (PLEP 2023) as follows:

• Reduce the heritage curtilage that currently applies to the entire industrial site to better relate to the subject heritage item and its setting;
• Change the item name from ‘Truganini House and grounds’ to ‘Truganini House and riverfront setting’; and
• Change the property description from ‘Lot 10, DP 774181’ to ‘Part of Lot 10, DP 774181’.

The proposed changes will better reflect the extent of heritage significance applying to the established industrial site, protecting the item and its setting down to the river. No intensification of the site nor changes to other planning controls are proposed. This Planning Proposal does not include a Planning Agreement given that no intensification or increased density is proposed that might result in the need for additional supporting infrastructure.

For more information, please visit Council’s Participate Parramatta website.
