The NSW Government's plan and Council's alternative

What the NSW Government's plan does

  • Up to 10,000 new homes, about 20,400 more people, in an area already among the densest in NSW
  • Towers up to 34 storeys, and taller buildings across the whole precinct, not just at the stations
  • Council's traffic study says the road network fails at about 5,000 new homes, half what is being zoned
  • Council's study says delivering the schools, parks, library and childcare 10,000 homes would need is 'extremely challenging' on this land

Write your objection

You don't need to write a perfect objection. Say what you think, messy is fine. It gets tidied into something clear that still sounds like you. Nothing you type or say is saved.

1Your position

This decides what your objection asks for.

2What concerns you most?

Tick the ones that matter to you. Your objection will bring in a point or two from Council's studies on each one, alongside your own words. Two to four works best.

No points from Council's studies. Just what you say, tidied up.

Nothing ticked yet.

3Say it in your own words

Rough is good. Talk like you're explaining it to a friend. You'll read and change the result before anything is lodged.

Things to mention

  • Where you live and how long, or your connection to the area
  • One thing you've seen or experienced that backs up your concern
  • What you'd accept, or what should happen instead
