The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) Ltd seeks quotes for professional consultant services to assist with the integration of urban heat into local government land use planning instruments, policy and plans.

The current NSW planning review process provides a real opportunity for councils to escalate and incorporate urban heat objectives into their Local Environmental Plans and Development Control Plans to strengthen the consideration of urban heat and associated cooling design requirements early in the development assessment process.

The successful proponent will work closely with WSROC, participating councils and other stakeholders to deliver this project.

This project will deliver on priorities identified under the Turn Down the Heat Strategy and Action Plan 2018. Further information on WSROC is available on the website at wsroc.com.au.

WSROC anticipates that the process will result in the appointment of a Contractor, ranked in order of preference based on the evaluation criteria. It is expected that the highest ranked contractor will obtain the work available under the contract subject to satisfactory performance.
