Leichhardt Industrial Lands Study
In June 2014, Council commissioned SGS Economics and Planning to undertake an Industrial Lands Study for the Leichhardt LGA. The study was pursued for the following reasons:
- to assist in establishing a strategic land use framework for the Parramatta Road corridor as part of the Strategic Sites, Centres and Corridors - Parramatta Road project
- to assist in responding to recent and future applications to rezone industrial land
Council endorsed the study on 10 February 2015.
