Flinders Street Precinct Review

Share your feedback on our draft Urban Design Framework for the Flinders Street Precinct

On 27 October 2025 Council endorsed the exhibition of a draft Urban Design Framework (UDF) which seeks to guide future growth in the Flinders Street Precinct. Well positioned to support jobs and housing, the precinct has the potential to grow into a vibrant northern gateway to the Wollongong City Centre.

Background

Council has outlined the need for a review of the precinct in the actions of three strategic studies.

To aid in the review, Council has collaborated with Urban Design firm Architectus to prepare an Urban Design Framework (UDF).

The draft UDF recommends amendments to controls such as land use zones, height of buildings, floor space ratio, minimum lot sizes, key sites and public views. If adopted, the UDF will also act as a valuable framework to reference and test any future major development proposals and infrastructure works.
