In response, residents are calling on the UNDA to release its new Masterplan and engage with residents about its plans as a whole before any more development applications are approved.
Just as Darlington was gobbled up by Sydney Uni’s expansion, Chippendale residents fear their suburb too is being threatened by an ever expanding University of Notre Dame. A key issue is that the UNDA is a private corporation, and, as such, not obliged to release the same information as public Universities.
The latest Development Application is for 1-7 Moorgate Street. Here residents living alongside the UNDA are concerned about the late operating hours and weekend accessibility. Similarly the larger community is concerned that the nature of their quiet residential streets is changing.
The Chippendale Residents Interest Group is calling on Council to step in and make sure the UNDA makes public its plans and genuinely engages and consults residents.
