A revised proposal for the site will be lodged shortly with
the Department of Planning for public comment and detailed assessment, Mr
Sartor said.
“This is an important site for Sydney and any proposal we receive will be
rigorously assessed on its merits,” Mr Sartor said.
“I understand the proponent is seeking to amend the
concept plan to incorporate the latest in sustainable technology, including a
proposal for tri-generation energy production.
“Environmental sustainability was always a key
consideration when assessing the plans.
“I am pleased to see the continuing effort that is
going into achieving exciting new standards in energy and water efficiency, and
architecture and urban design.”
Mr Sartor said the Carlton
and United Brewery redevelopment will join Barangaroo as a new ‘bookend’ for
the CBD.
“These sites will deliver much-need commercial space,
new homes and major new parks for Sydney,”
he said.
“Any proposal to modify the scale of the CUB
development in light of further property acquisitions, and expand the size of
the proposed new park, will be carefully examined.”
Mr Sailor said he had recently approved the start of
demolition works at the Broadway site.
“These demolition works will also promote environmental
sustainability, with about 90 per cent of building materials to be recycled.
“Items demonstrating the site’s industrial heritage
will be salvaged for re-use in art installations in the new development.”
The Minister granted planning approval for the demolition
works subject to a number of conditions ensuring the protection of important
heritage items and the minimisation of potential impacts on the surrounding
area.
The approved demolition works will create around 50
construction jobs.
