Ryde Council 太保守......
Town Centre plan给全盘推翻了
Ryde Council scuppered the Draft Eastwood Town Centre Master Plan this week when it resolved that owing to strong community opposition and unresolved traffic and parking issues, no action be taken to increase allowable building heights or introduce floor space ratios in Eastwood shopping centre. They also refused to consider having a Councillors' workshop or even a public forum to allow major landholders to present their redevelopment plans. Councillor Perram, the mover of the motion, quipped, "we don't want to give them a leg up". So much for democratic debate.
Significantly, they didn't consider a review of the Master Plan if and when the traffic, parking (and flooding) issues are resolved, which was the original recommendation from Council's planning department, which I don't think is unreasonable. The only concession they made was to prepare a redevelopment concept for the Glen Street and Rowe Street East car parks. So for the time being, Eastwood is going nowhere, except perhaps backwards.
It's a crying shame how Ryde Council through its inaction over several decades, has allowed what was once a leading shopping and business centre in Sydney, to deteriorate to the point where it is now a backwater, while surrounding centres thrive. It is now over 7 years since a review of the Master Plan was instigated and yet we have now reached a point, at considerable expense, where it has all been for nothing and we're back to where we started.
