660 Elizabeth St Redfern (PCYC site) Redevelopment - Exhibition until 4 December 2024
The link to the exhibition documents is SSD-51274973 600-660 Elizabeth Street, Redfern - Mixed Use. The main document is Environmental Impact Statement and the other documents are appendices that provide additional information. At the end of this email we will provide a list of the documents in order so they can be easily located as they are jumbled up on the Department of Planning website. Submissions can be made from this link on the exhibition site.
The proposal contains some significant changes from Bridge’s initial presentation to REDWatch on 2 March 2023. Bridge have dropped the 100 proposed private apartments from the scheme and are now proposing only social and affordable housing on the site in addition to a new PCYC, Bridge’s offices and 11 disability / carer units. The application states that if financing for the affordable housing does not eventuate they will submit a new DA. The current estimated development cost is $213,606,722 (excluding GST).
There is no information we can see that details what kind of affordable housing is proposed. The initial proposal contained both affordable housing linked to income as well as discount off market housing which was only proposed to be affordable for 10 years.
The documents propose an increase of 24 units on the site to bring the total to 355. The 100 private units have been replaced by 77 extra affordable and 47 extra social. Given that Homes NSW only required 100 units on the site it is not clear if the extra 47 will be part of the Homes deal or if Bridge Housing will own and operate some themselves. The initial proposal was that the Homes NSW social housing units would be operated by the Waterloo successful tendering. As the consortium Bridge was part of withdrew from the Waterloo tender, there is the possibility that while Bridge might build these Units they may now be operated by the successful Waterloo tender.
The proposal includes an application (Appendix E) for a slight increase in height over the edge of one building as well as a request for additional floor space allowance (Appendix F). The figures on the latter are not clear due to the need to juggle site FSR’s of 1.5:1, allowance for the community facility 0.57:1), a 10% design excellence allowance and a BASIX water allowance (0.15:1) that the says the site does not meet. The FSR requested is 2.442:1 which the application says is an increase of 6.75% if they had met the BASIX targets.
Obviously REDWatch has not had a chance to go through the documents in detail and we will approach Bridge for clarification and see if we can arrange a community meeting where Bridge can brief the community on their proposal and ask any questions. The short exhibition time means that it falls between our November AGM tonight and the first Thursday in December.
