9 Abergeldie Street Dulwich Hill NSW 2203

As a local resident I am appalled that this is even being proposed. This house has history and elegance, especially if it was properly restored but instead the new owners are going for the fast buck. What will the new buildings look like? Cookie cutter and out of character. Our mayor promotes this type of destruction of why we all moved to this area. Fence to fence building with no off-street parking (unlike now)meaning less for locals. The loss of five trees. This is poor planning the DA should be rejected.

This federation house has heritage value and forms part of the streetscape of Abergeldie St and the adjacent Abergeldie Estate. Modern townhouses are inappropriate for the neighbourhood. Proper planning for Dulwich Hill is needed, rather than this piecemeal approach which allows developers to make money, with no stake in the future of the area.

I object to DA/2025/0897 re 9 Abergeldie Street Dulwich Hill

I object to the demolition of this heritage house, part of the historic Abergeldie Estate of Dulwich Hill. It's loss would mean further loss of heritage value and character of the area.

I object to the removal of five established trees, which would further reduce the tree canopy and of the area, which is home to native birds and wildlife.

As a resident local to the area I strongly object to the demolition of this Federation home. It’s part of the original Abergeldie Estate and adds real charm and history to the street. Knocking it down and subdividing the land into two blocks would strip away more of the character that makes Dulwich Hill special.

I’m also concerned about the plan to remove five trees. These trees are vital to the local canopy and provide habitat for native birds and wildlife. Reducing canopy cover will directly undermine Inner West Council’s own goal of achieving 25% tree canopy across the area – a target that will be impossible to meet if removals like this continue.

I urge Council to reject this proposal and help protect the heritage and feel of our neighbourhood.

This is a lovely house that matches the architecture of the street and the character of the area. I object to its demolition and definitely object to knocking down 5 trees. I can’t imagine council would approve that type of destruction of local canopy and the lovely landscape of that street. It would be shameful if this DA was approved.

As a home owner on Abergeldie St, I strongly object to demolishing this house that encompasses the character and heritage of the street and has in most cases drawn the homeowners on this street to want to buy and live here.
I object to 5 established trees being removed in a habitat area for possums, lorikeets and other native animals. There is currently a mother and baby possum living in the back yard trees of this house.
I object to the development application removing the current driveway that allows 2 cars to park off street. The application has no car parking facility off street and there are 2 dwellings which will bring even more cars needing to park in the street than a single dwelling.
This type of development will compound the difficult parking situation during non business hours when residents and visitors to the street are home and vying for a parking spot.
There is already a heavy impact on parking on the street when Trinity school holds sporting and other events and the cars spill into this end of Abergeldie street.

I'm also deeply concerned about this proposal. In a street that's beautiful because Federation style buildings are maintained, demolition is the wrong option. Also removing trees feels hugely inappropriate for an area that's special because of the tree cover.
The lack of character of the new proposals is not needed on our street.
I haven't seen any risk assessment of this proposal, for the property, parking or trees, and it feels like developers looking to exploit the council without proper checks and balances.
There are already parking issues on Abergeldie Street and this will only worsen that problem.
