134-144 Pitt Street, Redfern, NSW

Redfern is currently undergoing other large scale developments (at least two that I know of - one of them: 134-144 Pitt St) and we haven’t seen infrastructure developments in line with the population increase they will generate such as parking, transport, waste removal, etc. This is not the idea I had of a Green administration that should be privileging quality of living and sustainable growth over short-term gains. The way thing are going, Redfern will look more and more like Zetland and loose it’s historical charm as a residential area more akin to Surrey Hills. I strongly object to this development.
This development is not suitable for this location in Pitt St. A 6 level building is not in keeping with the height of other buildings (note it is located both adjacent to and opposite rows of 2 storey terraces). The proposed height will impact sunlight and current roof top views enjoyed by residents. The lack car parking will be an issue as car parking has been increasingly challenging for residents with permits as development in the area increases. My experience with other similar developments is that, despite the developers claims, residents (never low income as the rents charged are market rate) do have cars and without sufficient car parking on site, will use the surrounding streets for cars and motorbikes. The scale of this development needs to be reconsidered - it is too big for a quiet, predominantly residential enclave (despite zoning for mixed development).

I agree and object to any increase in FSR or size ovrall. The legislation doesnt support ongoing use for low cost accomodation and it doesnt work and is never susutained. Redfern is being over developed. The way thing are going, Redfern will look more and more like Zetland and loose it’s historical charm as a residential area more akin to Surrey Hills. I strongly object to this development.

A 6 storeys building is much too high in this area.
It would forever damage the village atmosphere of this part of Redfern.
I stand against this development. High rise building are for CBD and even there, they are disputed. The local Redfern community will suffer from this development.
