Central Sydney Planning Committee

Unique IDAG-0047DescriptionThe Central Sydney Planning Committee is an intergovernmental body set up under the City of Sydney Act 1988, responsible for approving developments in the City over $50 million. The Act states that the Committee is a corporation not subject to the control or direction of the Sydney City Council, although the Council provides staff and facilities for the Committee. Decisions of the CSPC are deemed to be decisions of the Council.

The Committee is also the consent authority for any developments which do not conform to the 1988 Central Sydney Strategy or involve Crown or Council land. It also makes and amends local environment plans.

The members of the Committee are the Lord Mayor of Sydney City Council, the Mayor of South Sydney City Council (01/01/1989 - 06/04/2004), two other Councillors from Sydney City Council, the Director of [the NSW State Department of] Planning, and four other persons appointed by the State Minister for Local Government and the Minister for Planning.

The Act allows the Committee to have access to, and make copies of, Sydney City Council records relevant to the exercise of its functions.

The CSPC held its first meeting on 19 January 1989.

Responsibility for approving developments under $50 million lies with CA 143, Planning Committee III, a Committee of Council.

The City Plan Sub Committee (also known as the LEP/DCP Sub Committee) was a sub committee of the CSPC from 1993 - 1996. Its purpose was to develop a new LEP/DCP to replace interim plans of the time.
