THAT COUNCIL

1.       Notes the Minister for Planning / State Planning Commission’s post-consultation letter dated 15 October 2025 regarding the Accommodation Diversity Code Amendment including the division of the amendment into two parts, along with changes made to Part 1 of the Code Amendment that partially address concerns raised in the Council’s submission of February 2025.

2.       Endorses Option 3 to the effect that the overlay is not suitable for the parts of the City Living Zone within the Historic Area Overlay as other policy requirements in the Planning and Design Code address building height, levels and scales in these areas.

3.       Authorises the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate, to make technical or typographical amendments to the response to Part 2 of the Accommodation Diversity Code Amendment, consistent with Option 3 and having regard to the 20 February 2025 submission to the State Planning Commission, for the purposes of the Lord Mayor finalising and issuing the response.
