Opportunity to respond to Sydney University plans

Submissions on the CIP have come from residents, colleges, Council, Area Health, Department of Planning and Environment (DPE), the National Trust and the Heritage Office among others. The response document summarises the issues raised in submissions and provides the University’s response point by point – it is educational reading seeing what has been raised and how the University has responded.

CoxRichardson has also undertaken a review of the CIP resulting in a 7 per-cent reduction in floor space. The Grounds Conservation Management Plan and Landscape Plan have been adjusted. The new plans and shadow diagrams are also provided.

In response to the University not undertaking the consultations required by DPE with resident groups in preparation of the CIP, the groups were promised that the community would have a chance to view and comment on the University’s response to submissions before a determination was made.

The University’s response is on public exhibition until August 25 under SSD 13_6123 on the DPE Major Projects site under “Response to Submissions”.

Take this opportunity to comment.

Sin, harm and healing

Talk of sin can leave people demoralised rather than healed. In some church settings, sin has sounded like shame, illness, depravity or permanent failure. That can be spiritually damaging. It can make people feel trapped. But we still need a way to speak honestly about harm. Our world is wounded by...

Concerns over Australia’s response to pro-Palestinian activism as laws face scrutiny

From hate speech laws to anti-protest measures later ruled unconstitutional, the NSW government’s rushed legislative response following the Bondi tragedy has prompted severe concerns over its impact on protest rights and free speech.  In April, the New South Wales Court of Appeal (NSWCA) ruled that the anti-protest laws introduced by...

What prison has taught me

Prison is a “culture” that most people look down on because it lies beyond their experience and understanding. As a chaplain in a remand prison with men in maximum, minimum and protection classifications, I have come to understand and appreciate the humanity of those I see and speak with each...
