North Eveleigh Community Forum & Submission Background

by

On
Monday 21st May there will be a Community Forum at Carriageworks on What
is happening with Development at North Eveleigh? In case you have not seen
a flyer through your letter box I have attached the flyer. REDWatch with Save
Leamington Ave Inc have organised a Community Forum for 21st May
at 7pm at CarriageWorks to get some answers. Presentations will be made by
the Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority (SMDA) who have plans on
exhibition, Carriageworks and local residents.  

The
SMDA have received Federal Funding
for 61 Affordable Housing Units at North Eveleigh and they have their
Review of Environmental Factors for the North Eveleigh Affordable Housing
Project Early Works and Infrastructure Works on exhibition – they have
agreed to accept submissions up until 25th May so that those who
come to the forum can make a submission. The SMDA also have their Affordable
Housing Strategy and Programme on exhibition until 24 May. You can
download details of both from SMDA on Exhibition.

The
proposed early works are based on the Approved North Eveleigh Concept Plan. You
can find the original proposal and the revised proposal on the SMDA website at www.smda.nsw.gov.au/north-eveleigh-concept-page-documents
and the Department of Planning’s final report and approval on Concept
Plan residential, commercial, cultural and open space. The Department’s
independent assessment of traffic and transport impacts, undertaken by SKM (p33
Director
General’s Report), which addressed traffic generation, particularly the
assumptions made about traffic generated by the development, calculation and
mode share assumptions, and on-site parking provision has not been made public.
Submissions on the initial Concept Plan and other documents can be found on the
REDWatch site at North
Eveleigh Major Project Application by RWA 2008.

You
can see some of the concerns raised about the North Eveleigh proposals in the
following documents:

Also
on exhibition in the surrounding area and open for submissions are:

  • Remediation of the Macdonaldtown Gasworks site near
    Macdonaldtown Station- Until 1 June 2012. Those with an interest in Heritage should note
    the Heritage Interpretation Plan (Appendix M) which provides the history
    of this part of the former Eveleigh Railyards. Note also that due to
    limited space at the site of the former Macdonaldtown gasworks site, the
    proposal also seeks to move material off site and potentially use a
    site within the Chullora Railway Workshops and Yards within the
    Strathfield LGA to treat some of the excavated material should it be
    required. The link address is:
