Snap Waterloo Metro
Integrated Station Development Consultation – REDWatch Thursday 18th
June 6pm
The John Holland / Mirvac joint venture (JV)
responsible for the Waterloo Integrated Station Development, which includes
both the Metro station and the over station development, is doing a
pre-lodgement consultation. REDWatch is holding a special on-line meeting so
that the JV can present its proposal to the community and get feedback.
John Holland will deliver the Waterloo metro
station and a joint venture between John Holland and Mirvac to deliver the
Waterloo integrated station development, including the buildings above and next
to the station.
During June 2020, the joint venture is looking
for feedback on building designs, public art and landscape, facilities or
services, construction impacts, public domain, car parking and retail spaces.
The JV will present to a number of groups over the next week or two. You can
see the JV’s flyer for the consultation – Have your say Waterloo
integrated station development June 2020.
It is important to realise that the JV is
working on the final development application (DA) design of the buildings that
will be built. This will look very different from the images seen during the
earlier public exhibition of the Waterloo Metro State Significant Precinct
rezoning proposal in mid-2019.
After the last exhibitions, there were a number
of changes made to the planning controls and the JV was selected as the
developer. As a result the open space increased and more commercial office
space is guaranteed with less parking on site. The controls also encouraged
some of the height from the towers to be spread over the rest of the site.
REDWatch has asked the JV to explain the changes that have been made so the
community can understand the impact.
We
encourage you to take this opportunity to find out what the JV is proposing and
to have your say before it gets set in concrete. You can join us for the online
REDWatch meeting via PC or smartphone.This
consultation is much shorter than even the rezoning pre-lodgement exhibition,
which is not good practice for engagement with the surrounding Waterloo Estate.
Please promote this meeting using this poster so we can get the word out – REDWatch
Poster for June 18 2020 Waterloo Metro Station and Over station Development
Meeting.
After
the Development Application (DA) is finalised by the JV it will be submitted to
the Department of Planning Industry and Environment for a formal exhibition
before final approvals and conditions are made.
