technical studies will inform a planning proposal request.

Purpose of the webinar

• This webinar is one of a number of different ways

people have to comment on the proposal

The NSW Government is proposing to renew the Franklyn Street social housing estate in Glebe. The renewal includes new and better social housing, mixed with private housing in new apartment buildings.

We are very early in the planning process, with at least two years before relocations

• r construction.

All current social housing residents will have the right to return. Residents will be provided with at least 6-months’ notice before relocation.

The redevelopment area

The proposed redevelopment includes the existing Franklyn Street social housing estate and is bound by Glebe, Bay and Franklyn Streets

Community feedback is important and will be used to refine the planning proposal request to be submitted to the City of Sydney

Planning pathway

The proposal:

• aligns with the objectives of the Eastern City District Plan,

increasing housing supply, choice and affordability and providing access to jobs, services and public transport

• supports the City of Sydney’s Local Housing Strategy,

delivering more homes, a diverse mix of housing and affordable rental housing, while collaborating with government and non-government partners

• creates a better place to live, through new high-quality

homes, better pedestrian access, beautified streetscapes and new community facilities in a growing inner Sydney area.

Strategic planning context

The proposed redevelopment is located close to key transport corridors and the city centre

The redevelopment proposal is informed by a range of technical studies covering topics such as:

Technical studies

• Built form and urban design
• Environmental amenity
• Staging
• Transport and accessibility
• Environmentally Sustainable Design
• Heritage
• Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
• Social impacts
• Water and soils
• Flooding

• The site is

proposed to be subject to a Floor Space Ratio

• f 2.5

The redevelopment area:

• is at the junction of 4 inner city areas

with their own distinct characters and scales

• is well connected to local services,

public transport, education and employment centres

• is well served by existing parks

including Wentworth Park to the north, Victoria Park to the south and Robyn Kemmis Reserve to the west.

• About the redevelopment area

The redevelopment area

The proposed redevelopment area is bound by Glebe, Bay and Franklyn Streets

Glebe Renewal Area Broadway Ultimo Glebe

• 1. The proposal divides the existing estate into three

blocks, with a new laneway and two new streets, returning around 25% of the site to public domain.

• 2. Low-scale perimeter buildings are placed around

the edge of each block to define the new laneway and streets. All buildings will have a street address. These perimeter buildings transition in height to reflect the scales and characters of adjoining areas.

• 3. Taller buildings would be carefully positioned to

minimise potential overshadowing of neighbouring properties

The design approach

1 2 3

• Buildings have been designed to be compatible with surrounding areas with heights ranging from 4 to 14 storeys.

The section below shows how the proposed buildings relate to the heights of nearby buildings.

• Taller buildings are located towards Ultimo and lower buildings are located towards Glebe to reflect the scale and

character of these areas.

• Buildings are setback at the upper levels to reduce their scale and presence when viewed from Glebe Street and

Franklyn Street.

Key features of the preliminary concept

Outline of proposed buildings

• The buildings have

been designed to transition in scale from the taller scale of Ultimo and the lower scale of Glebe.

• The proposed size
• f the

redevelopment is consistent with the scale of recently completed projects near Wentworth Park.

• The buildings at the

corner of Franklyn and Glebe Streets are designed to be low in scale and compatible with the historic character of the area.

• The ground floor of

this corner building is being considered as a possible location for a café.

Proposed local streets and laneways

• New low-speed shared

streets and a laneway will make the local area more attractive.

• We will retain as many

trees as possible and plant new trees and gardens.

• Streets will include places

to sit, stop or rest.

Living street Living street Robyn Kemmis Reserve

• A place for the community to socialise and interact
• Shared spaces with pedestrian and cycle

connections, one-way car access, and drop off/ pick up carparking spaces

• New tree and shrub planting to make green shady

spaces, as well as retaining existing trees

• Sitting areas on benches, walls and boulders
• Lighting to make it safe for everyone to use
• Artworks and sculpture to make the spaces

special.

New living streets

• Incidental art

• Outdoor games

Play

• Road kept as two-way but narrowed to either 3.5m with

parking on both sides or 5.1m wide with parking on one side

• New two-way off-road cycleway
• Wider pedestrian space for seating and walking
• Many existing street trees retained
• New street tree and groundcover planting.

Glebe Street

Typical cross section on Glebe Street

Sections with parking on only

• ne side provide

passing bays

• Kept as a one-way street, either with
• r without kerbs
• More generous pedestrian footpaths
• Parking moved away from the edge
• f Robyn Kemmis Reserve
• New large street trees and

groundcover planting

• Potential café to corner of Glebe

Street.

Franklyn Street

Typical cross section for Franklyn Street

• Provides improved visitor, resident and

servicing access to the development

• One-way street with option of raised zones to

calm traffic

• Walkway on one side of the street with on-

street carparking

• Small tree plantings to the northern side of

the street

• Larger tree planting and understorey planting

to the Greek Street property boundary.

New laneway

Typical cross section for the laneway

Communal open spaces

Improving local street access

The proposal will improve access to nearby buildings and streets and make it more attractive to walk, cycle and use public transport. Traffic studies show that the redevelopment will have minimal impact on local traffic.

• Glebe Street remains a two-way street with a new separated cycle path
• Franklyn Street remains a one-way street

Managing traffic and access

• A new public laneway to the south of the buildings improves

access for the public, residents, visitors and service vehicles

• Two new highly landscaped living streets (shared zones)

break up the block

• An increase in underground and off-street carparking from 125

to 250 spaces

• An increase in on-street carparking from 70 to 74 spaces
