Blackwattle Scheme

Blackwattle Scheme

The government has released proposed new planning controls for the existing Sydney Fish Market and claims it has listened to the community by allocating a mix of residential and commercial space. But people would be speechless at the wall of towers along the harbour with heights reaching 45 storeys, overshadowing the public foreshore and blocking the water from the rest of Pyrmont – exactly what the community has long opposed. Only five percent of the 1,550 proposed dwellings are earmarked as affordable when the government owns this land and must address the growing housing affordability crisis.

The proposal represents privatisation of the harbour and has little public benefit. I urge you to comment by 6 August: > HERE.
