On the 14th of December 2022 The Roseville Memorial Club and their development partner, the Hyecorp Property Group lodged a development application (Application number: DA0049/23) to redevelop the Club site at 62-66 Pacific Highway Roseville.
Almost a year later, on the 12th December 2023 the Sydney North Planning Panel determined the Development Application (DA) by granting a Deferred Commencement Consent.
Schedule A of the Consent Instrument sets out the conditions that must be satisfied for the Consent to become operable. They include the requirement for the Applicant to execute the Voluntary Planning Agreement detailed further down this page.
This DA represents the final stage in the development journey for this site which commenced in 2016.
The gazettal of new planning controls for the site in October 2021 and the adoption of a site-specific development control plan by Ku-ring-gai Council introducing parking requirements have informed the development application that will be lodged with Ku-ring-gai Council in the coming months.
As with the previous and approved development application, this development will provide a revitalised club facility at ground level with residential apartments in the airspace above. This DA gives consent for:
As part of this DA and in accordance with NSW Planning Legislation, the Club has made a formal offer (which is referred to as a Voluntary Planning Agreement) to Ku-ring-gai Council to acquire the narrow strip of Council owned land at the Larkin Lane frontage of the site. It is proposed to extend the basement levels under this strip of land.
Once construction is completed, a stratum subdivision will enable this land to be dedicated back to Council at an agreed value.
It will be fully landscaped and paved in accordance with the Council’s public domain plan for Memorial Park and the Roseville Town Centre.
The new development will not alter the current boundary line of the Club with Memorial Park. The land area of Memorial Park will be unchanged.
Ku-ring-gai Council has developed a long term plan for improvements to the Roseville local centre. The draft Roseville Public Domain Plan proposes upgrades to streets to revitalise central Roseville as a destination for local residents and to enhance its garden character.
The Draft Plan describes the vision to revitalise the public domain areas of central Roseville. It also provides public domain guidance to ensure the centre evolves through growth, multimodal transport facilities and redevelopment.

The redevelopment of the Club has been designed in accordance with these public domain controls. The Club has made a formal offer (which is referred to as a Voluntary Planning Agreement) to Ku-ring-gai Council to acquire the narrow strip of Council owned land at the Larkin Lane frontage of the site. It is proposed to extend the basement levels under this strip of land.
Once construction is completed, a stratum subdivision will enable this land to be dedicated back to Council at an agreed value. It will be fully landscaped and paved in accordance with the Council’s public domain plan for Memorial Park and the Roseville Town Centre. The landscaped works will include a 6 metre wide landscaped setback that will include a pedestrian pathway and four (4) trees.
A terrace with transparent balustrade is also proposed at ground level along the length of the eastern interface of the club site with Memorial Park. This terrace will provide an important ceremonial connection between the club and the Park for the veteran community on days of remembrance.

The development journey for this project commenced in 2016. It was always intended to be a three (3) stage process. This development application is the third and final stage in the development journey.
Over the last seven years much of the work focused on formulating an appropriate design solution for the site and establishing in conjunction with Ku-ring-gai Council the new planning framework that would enable its realisation.
The three (3) stages in the development journey are set out below.
Stage 1 involved the approval of 2018 Development Application DA 134/18 by the Sydney North Planning Panel on the 2nd September 2020. This application established the site was suitable for a mixed use development comprising shop-top housing above a ground floor registered Club.
This development application conformed to the original height and floor space ratio controls that applied to the land. The DA provided for thirty three (33) residential apartments built across six (6) levels above the new Club facility and three (3) basement levels of car parking for 58 vehicles. In approving the development the Panel noted:
‘The Roseville Club on the site has been a gathering place and facility for the local community for many years and has played an important community role. The proposal before the Panel has been presented as an opportunity to revitalise the Club as well as the site which has been zoned to accommodate a diverse mix of land uses. The development planning framework and controls generally contemplate development of the type, form and scale proposed for this site.’
This DA was not acted upon and it has lapsed.
Stage 2 involved the gazettal of the Planning Proposal on the 21st October 2021 which amended the height and floor space ratio controls pertaining to the site. The Planning Proposal established a 3:1 floor space ratio and a 26.5 metre height control for the site to accommodate seven (7) residential storeys in the air space above the Club.
At this time Ku-ring-gai Council has also adopted a Site Specific Development Control Plan (DCP) which is referenced in Part 14L of the Kur-ring-gai Development Control Plan 2015.
Stage 3 comprises of this DA which was seeking consent for thirty seven (37) residential apartments across seven floors in the airspace above a new ground floor Club facility. The DA substantially complies with the Stage 2 height, floor space ratio controls and car parking requirements.
The site is referred to as 62-66 Pacific Highway and compromises of three land parcels:
The site has two street frontages, Pacific Highway and Larkin Lane. The amalgamated site forms a rectangular shape and has a combined area of 1,375 square metres.
The site has a gradual fall of approximately 1.2m from its highest point at the Pacific Highway frontage to its Larkin Lane frontage.
The proposed development has been designed by the award winning architects PBD. The proposal will deliver an iconic landmark at the gateway to the Roseville Centre. The architectural response retains the elegant and sculptural lines of the 2018 proposal.
The new registered Club remains at ground floor level and will be accessed off Pacific Highway via its own dedicated entry as presently occurs. In the airspace above, thirty seven (37) one (1), two (2) and three (3) bedroom apartments will be built across seven (7) levels. They will cater for residents who are wanting a convenient lifestyle with shops, restaurants and public transport in easy reach.
The design thinking behind this new DA reflects the following principles.
| Site Area | 2,629 sqm |
| Land Use Zoning | The site is zoned B2 Local Centre.
Schedule 1 of the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 allows a residential flat building on the site if the ground floor will be used for a registered club. The development is permissible with consent. |
| Total Apartments | Thirty seven (37) |
| Total Floor Space Ratio (FSR) | 2.99:1 provided and 3:1 allowed |
| Size of the Club Facility | 706 m2 (164 m2 less than existing) |
| Height above ground level | 26.5 metres allowed The development substantially complies with the control. There is a minor breech to allow the lift to service the roof top terrace. The development application is accompanied by a Clause 4.6 variation that seeks consent for this variation. |
| Car Parking | 88 spaces provided across 4 basements levels
with dedicated parking for club visitors and staff and the residential apartments |
| Car Park Access | Larkin Lane |
The Development Application will be accompanied by a Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) that has been prepared by Gyde Consulting. It will provide a thorough assessment of the development against the relevant planning controls that apply to this development which include:
The development application will be accompanied by a Clause 4.6 variation that seeks consent for a minor variation to the statutory height control of 26.5 metres that applies to the site.
The variation arises as Ku-ring-gai Council has requested that lift access be provided to the roof top communal terrace and the lift overrun will exceed the height limit. The balance of the roof terrace sits well below the 26.5 metre control at 24.71 metres or at RL 135.48.
The majority of the site is owned by the Roseville Memorial Cub, with the exception of the small parcel of land (that sits behind 64 Pacific Highway) at the Larkin Lane frontage which is owned by Ku-ring-gai Council. This land measures 156 square metres in area and is currently used by the Club on a lease/license arrangement for parking and service delivery.
This land was classified as ‘operational land’ by Ku-ring-gai Council in their amendment to Schedule 4 of the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan (Local Centres) 2012 that was gazetted on 9 December 2016. The ‘operational’ classification enables the Council to consider the divestment of this land.
Once construction is completed, a stratum subdivision will enable this land to be dedicated back to Council at an agreed value. It will be fully landscaped and paved in accordance with the Council’s public domain plan for Memorial Park and the Roseville Town Centre.
Under the Council’s public domain improvement plan for the Roseville Town Centre many of the sites that back onto the Larkin Lane Car Park will be required to dedicate land to Council in this manner when they are being redeveloped.
The Club has made a new letter of offer to enter into negotiations to purchase the land using the Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) process. Planning legislation supports the commencement of the VPA process by applicants who intend to seek approval for a new development.
This process has commenced ahead of the formal lodgment of the DA. This means the DA and the VPA can be exhibited concurrently. This is a much more efficient process and enables the community to provide comment on the proposal as a whole.
Given the inclusion of the Council land in the proposal, independent legal and planning consultants have been appointed by Council. They will manage the negotiations and assess the DA. The DA will also be determined independently of the Council by the Sydney North Planning Panel.
The new Club will continue to be a ‘Registered Club’ and it will be located on the ground floor of the development. It will be able to accommodate a maximum of 300 patrons at any one time, which is less than the number of patrons currently allowed in the existing club facility.
The Club will offer a range of dining experiences from fine dining through to casual family dining.
There will be 6 staff: 4 full time, 2 part time as well as contract staff working at the facility. The proposed hours of operation seek to maintain the existing hours of operation of the Club which are:
The Club will have its own designated parking within the basement for visitors and staff.
All waste from the Club will be stored back of house in the garbage and recycling bins then moved to the waste room in the basement car park. This is an improvement over the current situation where waste is stored at the Larkin Lane frontage of the Club. An Operations Plan of Management will accompany the DA.
On Tuesday 6 December 2022, UrbanTalk hosted two community consultation events at the Memorial Club to explain the final DA. Hyecorp and a strong community turnout had some fantastic dialogue around the development.

Since 1947, The Roseville Memorial Club has been the focal point of Ku-ring-gai’s veteran community. In its day-to-day operation, it supports the social needs of its members as well as community groups, charity fundraisers, sponsorships and commemorative events. Being the only club of its kind on Ku-ring-gai’s Upper North Shore, the New Rose project will better equip the Club to continue supporting the local community long into the future.
The origins of the Club commenced with the establishment of the Roseville Sub Branch of the Returned Sailors’ and Soldiers Imperial League (RSL) of Australia on the 3rd July 1933.
In its early years, the Club was located on land that today forms part of the Roseville Memorial Park. In 1945 the Ku-ring-gai Council leased this land to the Roseville Sub Branch. The first monthly meeting of the Sub Branch was held on this site on the 27 May 1947.
With the expiration of the Council leasehold in 1960, the Club then acquired its current landholding and again with the help of Ku-ring-gai Council, the current Memorial Club Building was developed together with the Garden of Remembrance, which today forms part of the Roseville Memorial Park. The Club building was officially opened on the 3rd March 1962.
Today, the Club has 1100 members. Approximately 80% of the members have seen active service.
