Woollahra and Edgecliff community consultation extended

03 October 2026

Due to considerable community interest in the proposed Woollahra and Edgecliff rezoning which could deliver up to 9,400 new homes and 1000 new jobs, I have decided to extend the consultation period for an extra 3 weeks.

The detailed rezoning proposal which started exhibition on Tuesday 8 September will open up more housing close to the CBD, jobs and a new station.

Key features of the proposal include:

Varied buildings heights of up to 34 storeys around Edgecliff Station and 32 storeys around Woollahra Station.
Plans for 7 new parks and up to 9 kilometres of new walking and cycling connections.
A requirement for diversity of new homes – including studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
3 percent affordable housing contribution, with up to 15 percent applied to certain sites in perpetuity.
An expanded mixed-use Edgecliff Centre and a new Woollahra local centre, delivering around 1,000 new local jobs, services and amenities

Woollahra is just one of 74 state-led rezonings occurring across NSW that that could unlock approximately 257,000 new homes and 236,000 jobs.

The proposal is now on public exhibition until 5pm Friday, 30 October, 2026. Members of the community can submit their feedback via the NSW Planning Portal.
