News Item Heritage Impacts of Masterplan on Paint Shop and Extension by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 05, 2022 02:13 PM
In this section of the site we have provided the details on the heritage significance of the two heritage buildings mostly impacted by the North Eveleigh Planning Proposal. These details are taken from the heritage significance section of the Heritage Interpretation Strategy for the project. We have also used two images from the exhibition materials to show how the proposal impacts on these two important heritage buildings.
Image Image of the Building Proposed over the Paint Shop from the Master Plan fly through by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 05, 2022 11:58 AM
This image is a still from the flythrough showing the proposed building within and above the paint shop. This building could, under the proposed controls, be anywhere through and above the heritage Paint Shop building. This impacts both the visual appearance of the Paint Shop, but also its important heritage underground works and the natural light and ventilation of the Paint Shop. For information about the heritage importance and features of the Paint Shop see the Heritage Significance summary in the Heritage Interpretation Strategy. REDWatch has extracted this section at at http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/statesignificant/northeveleigh/TfNSW/paintshoprezone/220805hissig
Image Image of impact of master plan on Paint Shop (1888) & Extension / Suburban Car workshops (1912) by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 05, 2022 11:45 AM
This image is extracted from an Aerial render of the proposed master plan on exhibition in August 2022. The image shows both the proposed building through the Paint Shop (which under the proposal can be anywhere over the building) as well as the replacement of part of the Paint Shop extension by a building onto Wilson Street and a battle-axe representation of the heritage Former Suburban Car Workshops building. To understand the importance of these buildings and what of heritage importance is impacted see the Heritage Significance summary for the Heritage Interpretation Strategy which REDWatch has extracted at http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/statesignificant/northeveleigh/TfNSW/paintshoprezone/220805hissig
News Item Paint Shop Precinct – what the LEP maps tell us by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 05, 2022 11:45 AM
When looking at a planning proposal like North Eveleigh, it is useful to start at the proposed planning controls. This is the place the developer starts in working out what they can do within the rules or where bending them might be possible and hence what they might pay for the site. Below REDWatch has extracted the four maps proposed for the Sydney Local Environment Plan (LEP) and provided some comments.
File Heritage Significance of Paint Shop Precinct Buildings by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 05, 2022 11:17 AM
This is a 14 page extract from the Paint Shop Precinct Heritage Interpretation Strategy detailing the significance of each of the buildings and places impacted by the proposed Redfern North Eveleigh Paint Shop Precinct master plan. While many buildings are not greatly impacted by the proposal, The Paint Shop (c1888) and the Paint Shop Extension / Former Suburban Car workshops (1912) are two buildings that will be highly impacted. The Paint Shop by a proposed 4 storey building through and on top of it and the Extension by a part of it being demolished to make place for a new building fronting Wilson Street. How the development impacts heritage is a major issue to be considered in submissions.
Image The Proposed Paint Shop Precinct Heritage Map by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 02, 2022 01:02 PM
This is the same as the existing map. When compared to the height map it shows that all heritage buildings except the Paint Shop are to stay at existing heights and are protected. The proposal for the paint shop shows that an up to 63.6 m building can be placed anywhere above the paint shop, how much of the paint shop is covered by a building and how much floor space can go there is again defined only by the guide and a future design excellence process that could change the guide. It is important to note that some visuals on display, such as parts of the aerial fly through do not show the proposed building above the paint shop. Map Source Explanation of Intended Effect page 10.
Image The Proposed Paint Shop Precinct Height of Buildings Map by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 02, 2022 01:00 PM
This is the map that defines the possible building envelopes and the area within which the maximum heights might be used. The reference scheme used in the graphics is just one of many possible options possible under the controls. The developers can move that height anywhere within the height controls. How much floor space is in the building, ie if it is thin or fat, is constrained only by the guide rather than an allocation in the LEP. Explanation of Intended Effect page 8.
Image The Paint Shop Precinct Proposed Land Use Map by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 02, 2022 12:58 PM
Probably because of the decision to place FSR across the entire site the whole of the site is zoned as mixed use in the land use map. As a consequence the 20+% of the site that are public areas are not protected as recreational zones, which makes it possible to change controls later without having to ask for a land use change. REDWatch is of the view that all public space should be protected by appropriate zoning, Map Source: Explanation of Intended Effect page 7
Image The Paint Shop Precinct Proposed Floor Space Ratio (FSR) Map by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 02, 2022 12:55 PM
This is an interesting map because it allocates 2.78 times the area across the entire site rather than to the proposed buildings. So the roads, walkways and public spaces all have the allocated FSR. The proposal uses a lower level planning document, the design guide, to say where that floor space should go rather than allocate it building by building. This provides great flexibility for the developer, lack of certainty for the community and probably a higher price for the Transit Asset Management Entity (TAME) selling the site. Map Source: Explanation of Intended Effect page 9.

File Redfern North Eveleigh Paint Shop FAQs. by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 26, 2022 01:25 PM
This is the Frequently asked Questions prepared by TfNSW prior to the exhibition which try's to pre-empt the questions people might ask. For example it asks Q: Will there be a second bridge from North to South Eveleigh? A: While not part of the scope for the rezoning proposal, this has been considered when developing the masterplan. The design has ensured that any potential future pedestrian connection could be integrated within the proposed rezoning proposal. Which sort of begs the question as to why it is not in the plan. A clear area for people to push for. File is PDF 825Kb.
