TOD Housing Scenarios – One Sleep To Go

ONE SLEEP TO GO before feedback on future housing scenarios officially closes.

This is with regard to the NSW Government?s imposition of 22,500 new dwellings within 400m of Roseville, Lindfield, Killara and Gordon Station. Please let us know whether you?d prefer to do it by demolishing the entire precinct with six storey homes, or by preserving canopy and local character by spreading out further and/or having it taller in the middle. (If so, how tall?)

In the last month we?ve heard from your concerns around traffic gridlock and inability to access the highway, transitions and isolation, impact on canopy and local character, bushfire safety, the sub-optimal timing and duration of consultation, and your preferences for or against specific scenarios. I hear you, agree that this situation imposed by the state is quite unreasonable, and know that there will be some tough decisions that have to be made. However the more feedback that we receive, the greater the chance that we?ll be able to optimise a new scenario next year.

If you have yet to make a submission, please visit the following link to view the material and fill out the survey. https://krg.engagementhub.com.au/housingscenarios (If the link does not work, try turning off wifi and switching to mobile.)

Also yet to be announced is the NSW Government?s other initiative to allow townhouses and apartments in R2 zones within 800m of ALL train stations? we expect this second announcement to come within a few weeks.
