Council response:
In reply to your request for information regarding Chatswood Golf Club I can advise that an application has been lodged with the Department of Planning and Environment for a Site Compatibility Certificate (SCC). The Application will be determined by the Sydney North Planning Panel. If issued, a SCC will enable a Development Application to be lodged for a Seniors Living Development on part of the land owned by the Chatswood Golf club .
If a Development Application is received by Council it will be notified to surrounding residents as well as Chatswood West Progress Association for 21 days. Council will be the determining authority for the Development Application.
You can find information regarding the SCC Application on the Department of Planning website at :
