The SMDA would appreciate your time in attending and giving us your views in person. Construction of the parks will be linked to future development of the site.

This will replace planning legislation that has long underpinned the State’s planning controls. If approved, the changes fast track economic development across the inner city and are likely to result in overdevelopment in your neighbourhood. While reform is needed, the changes have been condemned as pro-developer and remove the wider public from the process. Notably, even ICAC have raised concerns! A “white” paper is being developed, with legislation to follow.  The proposed changes:

  • Remove your right to comment on a Development Application (DA) in your street
  • Are pro-developer
  • Do not mention the preservation of heritage suburbs nor environmental sustainability principles
  • Introduce “enterprise zones” into the area, which are a “free for all” for developers
  • Rely on “Private Certifiers” paid by developers to approve DAs (rather than Council)
  • “Consultation” is limited to an upfront “regional strategic planning phase” (and not specified)

A  COMMUNITY MEETING  has been organised,  so  you  are informed and can voice  your concerns.  The meeting  is at  Redfern Town Hall,  Pitt Street (off Cleveland Street),  so as many people  as possible  can attend.   The media, guest speakers from the Nature Conservation Council of NSW  and  Better Planning Network as well candidates for the Sydney by-election and  representatives from the City of Sydney have been invited.
We urge you to  attend this very  IMPORTANT meeting.   Without  large  scale  support, these changes are likely to be rail-roaded through. Make an evening of it by bringing your neighbours and friends.

The University of Sydney to host community information stall at Eveleigh Market

The Abercrombie Precinct will include student accommodation, and increase the Business School’s ability to attract the very best students, teachers and researchers from around the world.

“Keeping the community informed about the progress of the Abercrombie Precinct project is very important to the University of Sydney,” said Greg Robinson, Director of Campus Infrastructure and Services.  

“The feedback we received from the community following public exhibition in May this year was extremely valuable and helped us to refine the design even further.

“In particular, the University has reduced the height of the planned student accommodation building and increased setbacks to better integrate the development with surrounding properties.”

Through consultation activities and meetings with key local community groups, the University of Sydney understands that traffic and parking are important issues for local residents. To minimise these impacts, the revised design includes:

  • fewer car spaces within the site to reduce the number of car movements in and out of the precinct
  • a safe school drop-off zone directly adjacent to the school entrance
  • a focus on pedestrian safety and ease of access through the site, including a pedestrian path to the school that avoids the need to walk past the proposed car park entry on Abercrombie Street.

The University is currently in discussions with the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure about the conditions of approval for the project.  

“Subject to approval, we will undertake preliminary work to remove the demountable buildings on Codrington Street later this year,” Mr Robinson said.

“In the meantime, we look forward to continuing discussions with our neighbours and local residents about this leading-edge development.

“I urge everyone who would like to find out more about this exciting project to come and visit us at our information stall at the Eveleigh Market,” said Mr Robinson.

Information on the Abercrombie Precinct is also on display in the foyer of the University’s Services Building, 22 Codrington Street. You can access the foyer between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

A planning system focussed on the public interest. A planning system that places people and their choices at the heart of planning decisions about their future. On 14 July 2012, the NSW Government released A New Planning System for New South Wales – Green Paper, a bold step in the development of a new planning system for the State. The Green Paper outlines major changes in five key areas of the planning system, these are: * involving the community early in guiding planning decisions that will shape the growth and future of our cities, towns, and neighbourhoods; * placing much more emphasis on preparing good policies upfront to guide growth and development; * reducing red tape and delay for the assessment of development applications for all types of proposals; * ensuring that infrastructure is planned and delivered to support new and existing communities; * promoting a ‘can do’ culture in the planning system and ensuring that councils and the government are accountable for delivering the results they have committed to; and * providing greater access to information about planning policies, planning decisions, and your rights in the planning process.

Re: Abercrombie Precinct Development – Community workshop

Over the past two months the University has been consulting with our neighbours and other key stakeholders, as part of a review of our plans for a new building to house the University’s Business School at the Abercrombie Precinct in Darlington.

The University has committed to addressing concerns about the initial proposal to ensure we produce a more integrated facility that respects the local character of the streetscape. To date, feedback from stakeholders and the community has focused on reducing the overall bulk and scale of the original proposal.

Feedback from our recent consultation has also identified other items that the community would like to see taken into consideration when preparing our revised plans for the site. These include:

  • Respecting the heritage of the site
  • Retention of existing trees on the site
  • Pedestrian safety and useful pedestrian links through the site
  • Publically accessible open space
  • Overshadowing and noise management
  • Disruption from construction related activities, and
  • Traffic, parking and access

The University’s design team are close to finalising the revised plan, which is expected to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure towards the end February 2012.

Before submitting the revised plan, the University welcomes your input. As a valued neighbour, I invite you to a community information session. This session will include an update on our plans and give you an opportunity to provide your feedback, to help ensure we get this precinct right for the
future.

Should you have any questions please contact the project team on 9114 0523 or email abercrombie.precinct@sydney.edu.au.
