The BEP has been amended to identify proposed open
space areas including public open space, private open space and civic spaces.
The area commonly referred to as “Marian Street
Park”, bounded by Gibbons Street and Rosehill Street,
will be zoned ‘Public Recreation’ and the proposed maximum height limit
of 18 storeys has been removed from the BEP. It is also proposed that the open
space be dedicated to the Council of the City of Sydney, subject to adequate funding being
committed to upgrade the park.
Other indicative locations of future and existing
publicly accessible open space areas with the RWA’s strategic sites include:
- A new civic space that will link the Town Centre and Redfern
Railway Station and providing a focus for enterprise and activity. - Areas within North Eveleigh
comprising around 15% of the total site. - Areas within the Australian
Technology Park
including tennis courts, playing fields and pedestrian/cycle walkways. - The zoning of the playing fields on the former Redfern Public School,
comprising around 4,500 square metres, will be changed from ‘Special Uses’
to ‘Private Recreation’. The Indigenous Land Corporation, which is purchasing
the site, has indicated that managed public access to the playing fields
will be supported. - Land located at the Pitt
Street frontage of the former Rachel Forster Hospital
site, which is currently zoned ‘Special Uses – Hospital’.
