The Draft Mosman Park Town Centre Plan of September 2019 outlines the community vision for the Mosman Park Town Centre:

“An urban village which blends architecture, landscape and activity to create a busy  and visually appealing place that remembers its past and is distinctive from its surrounds”

The Draft Local Planning Policy  (LPP20) allows for 6-storey developments in The Village and surrounding precincts. However, recently a 9-storey development was approved for Lot 4 (No 42) and Lot 12 (No 40) Glyde Street in the Downtown Precinct because developers were awarded bonuses for preserving trees and painting murals. Local residents raised concerns in relation to height, parking, noise, and sunlight, at the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) meeting of October 1, 2020, but these concerns were overruled and the development was approved.

Further developments will soon be proposed for the Mosman Park Town Centre Downtown Precinct.  Several locations along the north side of Glyde Street have been identified as suitable for property development. Given the recent approval of a 9-storey property development on the south side of Glyde Street, it is likely that bonuses will be sought to make any further property developments as large as possible elsewhere in the Downtown Precinct.

Any property development of the Downtown Precinct on the north side of Glyde Street will be immediately next to and overlooking properties in The Village Precinct of the Mosman Park Town Centre.

It is our intention to ensure that any new developments are carefully integrated. Nine (or more) storey developments have no place next to The Village of existing 1-2 storey homes.
