Chatswood residents challenge Mirvac

A CONTROVERSIAL new north shore apartment tower approved by the NSW Planning Minister, Tony Kelly, in the last days of the Labor government faces a major legal challenge by residents.
At the same time as buyers are being invited to register their interest in the 295 apartments in the planned new 42-storey block in Chatswood, owners in a neighbouring building are pressing ahead with their Federal Court action aimed at halting the developer, Mirvac.
''This building was originally going to be a 21-storey office block. We were shown it on the model, and we all bought apartments in the same development on that basis,'' says Ken Turner, who owns a $2 million penthouse overlooking the site.

Willoughby Council also made representations against the application for a change of use to residential and the extra 21 floors. But the Mirvac chief executive of NSW development, John Carfi, says the proposed office building had become unviable and there was a shortage of apartments in the area.
''But we're in the middle of legal proceedings so I can't comment further,'' he says.
The new tower on Railway Street will have views from the Pacific Ocean to the Blue Mountains and airport, Mr Carfi says. |
