Cockle Bay

DPT & DPPT Operator Pty Ltd is seeking concept approval for the redevelopment of the Cockle Bay Wharf in Darling Harbour, which includes new retail shops, bars and restaurants, along with a commercial office tower.

The concept proposal were previously on public exhibition during December 2016 and November 2017.

The applicant has considered all public, council and government agency submissions received during public exhibition of the plans and lodged a Response to Submissions (RtS) report to the Department of Planning.

The RtS report further amends the Concept Proposal and includes the following:

1. Changes to the building envelope height and dimensions
2. Amended ‘building controls’
3. Establishment of a minimum open space provision

Due to the changes to the concept proposal (as amended by the RtS report), the Department placed the revised proposal on public notification, which closed on 8 August 2018.

The Department of Planning has carefully assessed the planning merits of concept proposal for the redevelopment of Cockle Bay Wharf, having regard to the comments raised in submissions and the Applicant’s response to submissions.

In January 2019, the Department referred the proposal to the Independent Planning Commission for a final decision. For more information, please refer to the IPC project webpage.
