You may have heard or received information about the State Government’s TODs, Ku-ring-gai’s Transport Orientated Development, that began in May 2024. It intensifies apartment development around Roseville, Lindfield, Killara, and Gordon Stations. Over the next 20 years the removal of grand houses on large lots will change the character of the area. Ku-ring-gai Council is seeking to replace this high impact TOD with an alternative and have prepared 4 Scenarios for Community Consultation. The objective is to intensify the town centres and reduce the impact on Heritage Conservation Areas.

Support Lindfield encourages all residents to participate in the process to help achieve a better planning outcome. We have put together an 11 minute Video/Powerpoint presentation that provides background and a summary of the scenarios to assist in understanding the impact. It is NOT advice particularly on individual properties. There is reference to the Lindfield Village Hub as well. It is now inevitable that the Hub project will be integrated into the plans to address the State Government’s housing targets and TOD scenarios.

Following watching, we recommend you go to the Council website where you can “cast your vote” on your preferred scenario. Closes 17 December 2024 at midnight.

On the website
1. Have a look at the scenarios on the right hand side
2. Click on the “complete the survey” link. This will take about 5 minutes.

There are questions asking why you’ve selected specific scenarios. In the video clip, Andrew has stated "Scenario 2a is the “sensible centre” and is likely to get State Government approval."
However, choose another scenario if it suits your preferences.
