Roadwork on the western entrance to North Eveleigh and Carriageworks will commence immediately and be completed by June 2013 to allow work to commence on the affordable housing development by mid-2013.
The Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority will announce the Affordable Housing provider before Christmas with work already underway on the DA to be submitted in early 2013. Under the Concept Plan approval the DA needs to address transport issues including traffic impacts such as those on Wilson and Queen streets. The DA also needs to make provisions for the public parks on the site.
Consultants AECOM have been engaged to take community input until December 17 and develop plans for the parks to go to Council in early 2013. These parks will be on paper only as they are funded only through later development.
The SMDA is replaced by Urbangrowth NSW in January. The long-term future of the three development blocks the road makes accessible and the wider site will be in the hands of Urbangrowth’s John Brogden and Sean O’Toole.
