Beecroft Village added to Hornsby Shire Housing Strategy

At the bottom of the minutes of the Shire BUSINESS PAPER Planning Meeting Wednesday, 2 December, 2009 is an update of the Shire's draft Housing Strategy document that was exhibited for public comment from 16 March 2009 to 17 July 2009.

The original document listed 25 precincts as under consideration for changed policy, including Thomsons Corner and the shopping centre to the south of Carlingford Road. Mostly the change is to allow 5-storey development. Some have been deleted from the new list, and a small number have been added.

Beecroft Road is one that has been added, for which it is proposed to "Allow 5 storey, part residential, part mixed use development". The attached map shows this refers to the entire Beecroft Village, between Beecroft Road, Chapman Avenue and Wongala Crescent.
