The proposal contains a number of high-density neighbourhoods shown in blue. The SSH thought this would be a good time to look at some of the debate around density. In August REDWatch had a round table on density and the SSH asked the presenters to provide some different perspectives on density. Bruce Lay looks at low-rise density. Chris Johnson provides a developer perspective from the Urban Taskforce and ex-Councillor John McInerney reflects on his experience as a city planner. Hopefully these articles will help readers in the coming discussions about density and the future of the City to Eveleigh corridor.
UrbanGrowth NSW, which is handling the precinct, is preparing a Community Participation Plan in line with the New Planning System White Paper. It is currently talking to stakeholders including local groups and preparing material to take out to the community explaining what is proposed.
