Construction of Large Apartment buildingsTraffic Impacts of Major Retail Development at Harold Park - Not too Late!

COMMUNITY RALLY: 5pm Sunday 6 April 2014, Chapman Road Bridge, Federal Park, The Crescent, Annandale

The proposed retail development at Harold Park includes hundreds of car spaces and an upgrade of roads and bridges through Annandale foreshore parkland to acces them. This traffic, along with that generated by the large residential development at Harold Park will add to the congestion on the Crescent and impact public transport along the route, which also needs to be increased to meet the obvious increase there will be in demand from the residents of the new development.

At their April 7 meeting, the Sydney City Council may refuse the DA or approve it with ineffective conditions of consent (see alternative motion here). The Council meeting to consider the DA is open and the public can attend. It is item "9.9 Development Application: 10 Maxwell Road Forest Lodge – Tram Sheds on the Agenda", but items which have drawn a large public attendance are brought forward.

Express your concern with the proposal by turning up at the Meeting:
5pm Monday 7 April 2014
Council Chamber, Sydney Town Hall, George Street Sydney
Agenda and Papers (including Report of the Planning and Development Committee - 1 April 2014)

Annandale Residents Precinct Meeting

7:00pm - 8:30pm, 7th April 2014
Annandale Neighbourhood Centre - Agenda

Rally to save Federal Park from Road Upgrade

The proposed inclusion of 145 car spaces to service the Shopping Mall in the TramSheds requires the upgrade of the Bridge over Johnston's Creek and the road through Federal Park, Annandale does not conform with the Objectives of the Harold Park DCP. The existing residential community rallied in Federal Park to demonstrate their concern about the impact of the proposed road upgrade on their parkland.

people in park people in park people in park people in park people in park

A jogger, from Newtown, on his way home from the Bay Run expressed his concern about the impact of the road on his evening run.

"1.5 Objectives
The objectives of this DCP are to ensure:
...
(d) That the heritage significance of the Former Rozelle Tram Depot is conserved and the Tram Sheds are adaptively reused for community, retail and commercial uses that primarily serve the new residential community and support nearby retail centres;
(e) That new buildings respond to their context in order to minimise their impact on the amenity of neighbouring dwellings and urban character of the surrounding area that primarily serve the new residential community and support nearby retail centres;
(f) The street network provides attractive tree-lined streets and a pedestrian and bicycle priority access network with significant water-sensitive design elements; and
(g) That the built form, layout and street network encourages and promotes the use of public transport."
