Planning Proposal, Draft Development Control Plan and Draft Voluntary Planning Agreement A Planning Proposal has been prepared for 43-46 The Esplanade, Ettalong Beach.

The Planning Proposal proposes to enable additional building height and floor space ratio on the subject site by appropriate amendments to the Central Coast Local Environmental Plan 2022. The proposed changes are:

• Changing the building height from 11.5 metres to 17 metres (3 storeys to 5 storeys).
• Changing the floor space ratio from 1:1 to 1.75:1.

The draft Development Control Plan chapter proposes to guide future development of the land to limit overshadowing of the beach and public open space, allow for view sharing, and provide a transition to lower density residential development. This chapter will amend the Central Coast Development Control Plan 2022.

The draft Voluntary Planning Agreement has also been prepared for the site, which is related to the funding of public domain infrastructure works as a public benefit. This voluntary contribution is additional to any applicable development contributions.
