Woollahra & Edgecliff Rezoning - an existential threat to Woollahra's heritage and lifestyle
In August last year that the NSW Government announced that it was planning to compete the long derelict Woollahra Station and use that as an excuse to rezone Woollahra and Edgecliff to allow an additional 10,000 dwellings. It was immediately obvious that the Government had done no real planning and that this was very much a politically motivated announcement. The Government is soon to announce its rezoning plans for public comment. In the meantime, Woollahra Council has developed its own Alternate Approach applying best practice principles which identifies opportunities for between 2,200 and 3,650 new dwellings, depending on the size of unit assumed. Whilst allowing development in some areas that we would normally oppose, this might be our "least worst" alternative, as the Government proposal is almost certain to be devastating for our area. We need all of Woollahra to support our campaign against the Government rezoning, Woollahra Against Radical Rezoning or WARR.
