Workshop Purpose
The purpose of this workshop is to help generate discussion amongst you.
Its an opportunity to identify how you currently assess innovative mixed use developments and compare and learn from one another.

4. Innovative Mixed Use Developments
Driven by global changes in:
Customer behaviour and preferences,
Technology,
Urbanisation, and
Competition from global businesses

5. Planning Response New land use definitions
artisan food and drink industry means a building or place the principal purpose of which is the making or manufacture of boutique, artisan or craft food or drink products only. It must also include at least one of the following:
(a) a retail area for the sale of the products,
(b) a restaurant or cafe,
(c) facilities for holding tastings, tours or workshops.
Note. See clause 5.4 for controls in industrial or rural zones relating to the retail floor area of an artisan food and drink industry.
Artisan food and drink industries are a type of light industry—see the definition of that term in this Dictionary.
Explanation of why the change came about and what the new definition achieves

6. For Discussion
How can we facilitate innovative mixed use developments through the existing planning system?
Emphasise that a new definition should not be required for each new innovative mixed used development.
The breadth of land use definitions in the standard instrument affords flexibility
The NSW planning system affords the opportunity for merit based assessments.
