Franklyn St Glebe Redevelopment Proposal

The NSW Government is proposing to sell off and redevelop the Franklyn Street social housing estate.

The development would replace the existing 110 social housing properties with 425 new properties, mostly private, in three buildings up to 14 storeys high which would dwarf the surrounding area.

Our community desperately needs more social housing but as we have seen in other similar developments this proposal could actually reduce the number of social housing bedrooms on site.

To the Minister for Housing,
Objection to Franklyn Street Glebe Redevelopment Proposal
Our community desperately needs more social housing but instead of government investing in more properties, they want to sell off the Franklyn Street social housing estate.
I oppose this redevelopment as it will:
<ul>
<li>Privatise public land and social housing by delivering only 30% social housing and 70% private on site. This area should remain 100% for social and affordable housing;</li>
<li>Overdevelop the site and destroy the current low-rise character of Glebe;</li>
<li>Segregate households according to income with separate buildings for social housing residents and private owners;</li>
<li>Force the relocation of all existing residents and not create a significant amount of new social housing accommodation;</li>
<li>Have a detrimental visual impact to the seven heritage items along Glebe Street;</li>
<li>Significantly overshadow neighbouring properties; and</li>
<li>Significantly impact city views as well as impose an unacceptable bulk and scale.</li>
</ul>
The existing social housing properties are in keeping with the character and streetscape of Glebe. Our community supports the upgrade of these properties not this proposal to knockdown, rebuild and privatise.
