1. This is another example of big developers having sway over Council listed heritage buildings. I believe that they have been offering owners of houses in Eddy Street, Thornleigh huge sums for their houses in the hope that Council will be swayed into rezoning that area for multi storey units. There is a Heritage house there as well, but I'm sure once a precedent has been set it will suffer the same ignominious fate. Thornleigh will have no character at all if this continues and be like so many other suburbs on the train line - a mass of unsightly units with lots of new residents all competing for schools, transport, roads, shopping, parks etc. Once one heritage house is declared able to be removed it will be open slather on any others. I realise Sydney's population is expanding, but at this rate it will resemble Beijing or Hong Kong with masses of high rise and little character or community. Melbourne already has a glut of apartments, and Sydney seems to be coming a close second.

2. Please ignore the above comment. It was intended for 9 Station Street, Thornleigh and was posted erroneously on this development.
