HAROLD PARK SUPERMARKET TO REDUCE IN SIZE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY OUTCRY

The developer has submitted amended plans for the Harold Park Tramsheds Development Application, with some encouraging changes. Following strong community opposition to the scale of the proposed supermarket, there has now been a modest reduction in gross floor area of the supermarket from 2700sqm to 2345sqm.

Greens MP Jamie Parker said:

“This is an important first step which shows that our community campaign has had an impact – thank you to all the residents who helped us highlight the impacts of this overdevelopment.

“I congratulate community advocacy group FLAG Harold Park and residents who have forced the developer to listen to community concerns.

“It’s now up to the Councillors on the City of Sydney to reduce the impacts of this application and ensure an appropriate development for the site.

“I am committed to standing up for residents and for an honest, democratic and sustainable planning system in NSW.

“Residents deserve to have a say in planning decisions that directly impact on them,” Mr Parker said.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
