NSW Government's proposals for Woollahra & Edgecliff Rezoning - a developer's dream and a resident's nightmare
The NSW Government has released it's proposal for rezoning Woollahra and Edgecliff. As expected and feared, this is a
nightmare for all local residents. The government is proposing rezoning to allow up to 34 storey towers in much of the area to construct 9,400 new homes, quadrupling the population from around 9,000 to 30,000, but claims there is no new infrastructure investment required in the short or medium term. The plans would see the character and village atmosphere that we love so much totally destroyed. The dark red areas in the proposed rezoning map on the right are for High Density Residential and permit up to 34 storeys in a large proportion of the zone (click it for a larger version).
