Sartor visits North Eveleigh

Residents will be pleased to hear that the DoP has been looking at the traffic study and further work is being done on this. The issues raised in the submissions go back to the RWA for their response. The RWA revealed that it is already working on changes to accommodate some of the objections.

The RWA is looking at the possibility of a park at the western end of the site and redistributing that floor space elsewhere. It is also looking at re-orienting the building to the east of the paint shop. A heritage interpretation strategy is also being prepared.

One of the issues explored at length was the feasibility of moving the western entrance to the site further east to avoid problems with cars cutting into Queen Street but this is difficult given the drop into the site from Golden Grove or Forbes Street.

Hopefully, there will be an opportunity for some further discussion between the RWA and objectors on their revised plans prior to them going back to the DoP for further consideration. It is not expected that the changes would go on public exhibition through the DoP.
