    This development should definitely be approved. The White Rabbit Gallery has been such a wonderful addition to the local area. I applaud the addition of more creative art spaces in this growing and vibrant community. The design of the building looks distinctive and interesting. This development will be a welcome addition to an exciting and growing area.

    I reckon this whole thing is a land grab under the cover and the name of Art.
    The same owner have bought many buildings in Chippendale including the White Rabbit, to name a few, and they are just being greedy and along with the Notre Dame uni, they are chasing the regular person out of the area.
    The White Rabbit is displaying some Rubbish under the name of Chinese art, I went there once and didn't want to go back. What's wrong with displaying Australian Art and supporting the Australian artists.
    I would like to know how Michael Clay know it is the same owner???

    I do my research, Jessica. I suggest you do the same, before you spout semi-racist, ill-informed vitriol. As to whether they're "chasing the regular person out of the area", I'd again suggest you do your research. The site in question is currently a disused industrial warehouse in a semi-demolished state, that is being used as parking for vehicles working on the remaining construction sites on the nearby Carlton United Brewery rejuvenation. This development will add value to the area. It doesn't replace existing residential housing. And even if it did, given the scope and scale of the recent residential developments in the local area (the CentraPark development alone has added huge residential capacity) the effect on local housing availability would be negligible. As to whether the gallery development should "support Australian artists" .... it will. The development includes two residential apartments that will be used as artist residencies on a permanent rotating basis, to support Australian artists in the production of cultural value. How do I know this? Again, I did my research before commenting. I suggest others do the same.
