Barangaroo South  Consultation Summary Report

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Site location and context
Barangaroo is located on the north western edge of the Sydney Central Business
District (CBD), bounded by Sydney Harbour to the west and north; the historic
precinct of Millers Point (for the northern half), The Rocks and the Sydney Harbour
Bridge approach to the east; and a range of new development dominated by large
CBD commercial tenants and the King Street Wharf/Cockle Bay precinct to the
south.

The 22ha Barangaroo site is generally rectangular in shape and has a 1.4 kilometre
harbour foreshore frontage, with an eastern street frontage to Hickson Road. The
site has been divided into three distinct redevelopment areas (from north to south)
– the Headland Park, Barangaroo Central and Barangaroo South, and has been
subject to multiple investigations that detail the physical and natural
characteristics of the site.

1.2 Purpose of report


This report has been prepared on behalf of Crown Resorts Limited to accompany a
State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the Crown Sydney Hotel
Resort at Barangaroo. The Hotel Resort is proposed in accordance with the
approved Barangaroo Concept Plan (as modified) and is located within Barangaroo
South.

1.3 Crown Sydney Hotel Resort Development

building that will include a hotel, VIP gaming and residential apartments. More
specifically approval is sought for:
 construction and use of a hotel, VIP gaming facilities and residential apartment
building with associated retail and restaurant uses and a basement car park to
accommodate parking and servicing allocated to the proposed uses within the
development, comprising a total Gross Floor Area of approximately 77,500m2
and a maximum building height of approximately 271 metres (RL 275);
 associated building signage; and

2.0 Community and stakeholder


engagement overview
As part of the preparation of the State Significant Development Application
(SSDA) for the Crown Sydney Hotel Resort, community and stakeholder
engagement has been undertaken throughout 2014 and early 2015. Feedback
received in response to this initial consultation has been considered and
incorporated into the proposal where feasible.

Consultation has been planned and undertaken as anticipated by the Secretary


Environmental Assessment Requirements, with relevant public authorities,
community groups and affected landowners.

Crown Resorts has undertaken consultation activities with consideration of the


Barangaroo Delivery Authority and Lend Lease’s consultation processes and public
messaging for the broader precinct.

JBA has been engaged by Crown Resorts to undertake the consultation activities.
JBA has been guided by the International Association of Public Participation’s core
values and principles to ensure the process is open and transparent. The
consultation activities have demonstrated Crown Resort’s strong commitment to
an inclusive engagement process that provides various opportunities for
community and stakeholder feedback.

A range of communication methods have been used to consult with and notify the
community and stakeholders about the proposal. This will ensure that all parties
are informed about the proposal, the planning process and have the opportunity to
provide feedback and ask questions prior to the formal exhibition process.

Following lodgement of the SSDA, Crown Resorts will undertake further


consultation with the local community and relevant stakeholders during the formal
exhibition process, held by the Department of Planning and Environment.

4.2 Planning Focus Group Meeting

On 15 April 2015, Crown Sydney and JBA representatives delivered a


presentation on the key aspects of the Crown Sydney Hotel Resort to the
Department of Planning and Environment and key stakeholder groups. Please see
attachment C for presentation slides.

The stakeholder groups which attended the Planning Focus Group meeting
included:
 NSW Department of Planning and Environment
 NSW Environmental Protection Authority
 NSW Police
 Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority
 NSW Department of Families and Community Services
 City of Sydney
 Roads and Maritime Services
 Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development

A summary of key issues that were raised during the meeting and Crown
Sydney/JBA’s responses are provided below.

Environment Protection Authority (EPA) question: What is the portion of tourism


gross floor area (48,200m2) is allocated to the VIP gaming facilities?
Answer: 15,000m2, the majority of which is back of house areas.

Police question: Will you be applying for both liquor and gaming licences for the
whole resort?
Answer: We will ultimately apply for a liquor licence for the bars and VIP gaming
areas as well as a gaming licence for the VIP gaming facilities. These will not form
part of the development application but be done at a later stage. Liquor licences
for the third party tenancies will be acquired by future third party operators.

Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (IL&GA) question: Will there be


connectivity to gaming facilities via the villas or super villas?
Answer: The villas are located on the levels above the VIP gaming facilities and
will be accessible via a short lift ride. There is potential to locate some gaming
facilities in close proximity to the villas, however this is not part of the project
scope at this stage. At this stage it is not intended to include gaming facilities in
the Super Villas, located at the top level of the building.

IL&GA question: Would owners of the apartments be able to include gaming


facilities in their private apartments?
Answer: No.

NSW Police question: What screening processes will you have in place to ensure
VIP gaming memberships are not granted to risky patrons who may pose security
threats?
Answer: We will base our security management plans on Crown Melbourne and
Crown Perth screening processes, as these security protocols have proven to be
very effective in managing our gaming memberships.

8 JBA  13351
Barangaroo South  Consultation Summary Report

These high security arrangements are very transparent and enable us to easily
identify any patrons participating in illegal activities, in which case we would
revoke their membership immediately and notify police.

It is the intention of Crown Sydney to work closely with the police to ensure that
that VIP gaming facilities are not made available to patrons that would pose a
security risk.

NSW Police question: Will there be a nightclub included in the hotel?


Answer: No. There will only be resort style bars which are in keeping with a 6 star
luxury resort.

EPA question: I understand the maximum height is RL 275 metres, what is the
equivalent height in storeys?
Answer: 71 storeys

EPA question: How many basements levels will be included in the hotel?
Answer: 3.5 standard basement levels will be included in the proposed hotel
resort.

EPA question: What cooling system will you be using for the hotel?
Answer: We will link into Lend Lease’s cooling system for the wider Barangaroo
site.

EPA question: Will you be using a black water recycling system?


Answer: We are intending on linking into Lend Lease’s black water recycling
system, however these details are yet to be confirmed.

EPA question: What is the total estimated amount of excavated material to be


removed from the site?
Answer: Approximately 75,000m3 of material.

IL&GA question: How are you going to test for contamination underneath the
concrete batching plant?
Answer: The contamination testing will be completed in stages, with testing of the
material underneath the concrete batching plant to be undertaken once it is
relocated.

EPA question: With the relocation of the concrete batching plant, how are you
going to produce concrete?
Answer: We are currently working through this issue at the moment and we are
intending on using Lend Lease’s batching plant.

IL&GA question: Will you have a backup power system?


Answer: Yes, we have included provisions for emergency generators.

EPA question: Have you found any contaminated material during your
investigations?
Answer: There have been numerous studies at Barangaroo that have shown that
remediation may be required at the Crown Sydney site. Since the site is currently
encumbered by the Lend Lease batching plant we will be undertaking on-site
testing as part of the excavation process. A detailed management plan will be
developed to support this activity. Crown will be removing any contaminated
material and perform all necessary remediation work as a part of the development
of the Crown Sydney site.

IL&GA question: Will there be a staged occupation of the hotel?


Answer: Yes. The restaurant, hotel, gaming facilities, car parking and retail will be
delivered in the first stage, with the apartments thereafter.
Barangaroo South  Consultation Summary Report

NSW Police question: How will you manage security issues such as alcohol related
violence given you will have patrons accessing the ground level facilities 24 hours
per day?
Answer: We will have strict and robust security management plans in place to
ensure no intoxicated patrons enter our premises. Our restaurants and bars are
resort style in nature and have limited capacity, they are not nightclubs.
Furthermore, our security personnel, CCTV cameras, lighting and the presence of
staff 24 hours per day will also reinforce the safety of the precinct.

Crown will also work closely with police to ensure maximum security of the area
at all times.

NSW Police question: How will you manage large numbers of patrons overflowing
onto the streets when they leave the hotel late at night?
Answer: Our facility is a luxury hotel with integrated facilities and we do not have
the types of venues that result in large numbers of patrons leaving simultaneously
late at night. Crown will have strict and robust security management plans in
place, which will be informed by our experience with our other resorts. We
recognise that there will be different security issues in Sydney and we would
welcome the opportunity to work with NSW police on developing a security
management plan that is tailored to the location and Sydney customers.

We will also provide an increased number of security personnel during the first
few months of operation to ensure the highest level of security is maintained.

We are completely on board with working with the police to help manage any
potential issues. We also suggest that there should be a precinct wide security
management strategy developed to cover all the new development that is
happening in Barangaroo.

DPE comment: The NSW police as well as all key stakeholder groups will be
invited to comment on the Crown Sydney Hotel Resort State Significant
Application, which will enable them to provide input into management plans.

DPE comment: The next steps for this project will involve direct consultation with
all of the key stakeholder groups, which will feed into the assessment of the
development application.
