That Council:

1. Write to landowners within the Lane Cove North area who own land zoned R4 who have not yet lodged a Development Application to ask their level of interest in developing a neighbourhood centre concept.
2. Request that a report be submitted to Council outlining what is required to further the proposal.

• There are nine blocks of land that are zoned for R4 High Density Residential in Lane Cove North that do not have a Development Application for apartments approved or under consideration.

• SEVEN of these blocks of land are owned by the NSW State Government via the NSW Housing Corporation/NSW Department of Housing. 

• Our vision is to work for Lane Cove North residents to have a small scale convenience store or local shops that they would walk to; there would be minimal risk of introducing additional traffic. 

• It is possible that a small 400 square metre convenience store could be provided within the current R4 High Density Residential zoning. 

• If a convenience store or other shops are desired with a floor plan larger than 400 square metres, a rezoning to 'B4 Mixed Use' zone that includes both residential and commercial could be considered. This would require further community consultation and input before any such plans are finalised.
