    I love Chippendale; it's changing, it's part of the city.
    Question to the residents... Does 8 stories sound like UTS is pushing the envelope just a little?
    I don't think Sydney City would ever turn it down, so it is imperative residents help guide the encroachment on our sight, sound and sunlight. This latest development really does need to include the locals.
    REAL LOCAL INPUT; I don't mean just in pushing through green buildings (that would be nice) but that we the residents of Chippendale dearly need local space, community space. A space where we feel we can belong. Proactively seek out who are the real locals - the area is becoming more and more transient.

    Be BRAVE UTS... don't pretend this is near the same height of the heritage buildings; it's way over. Make us proud to be part of Chippendale and your shadow, not just a box-ticking exercise that will have post-approval modifications that leads to the developer's true desire - we are all experts after years of "progress" and really get tired of the games.

    Soon Blackfriars Street will turn into a drop-off / pick-up for the already approved child care centre; if you were wondering where it is moving to - we will have new traffic problems, although they have statistics to prove that not to be the case. UTS is giving back to the community (at a percentage). Traffic is a problem and it's getting worse.

    Be BOLD UTS; we love beautiful buildings - you definitely have a few!
