Paint Shop Sub-Precinct Rezoning Proposal

These notes on the Heritage Interpretation for the Paint Shop Sub Precinct have been prepared by Roger Jowett from the RTBU Retired Members Association. They have been prepared to promote debate and discussion about the Heritage in an area which is often neglected. It might provide some ideas for areas you might want to cover in your own submission.

The following submission was prepared by a resident in 501 Wilson Street - the block of units that will be surrounded on three sides by the proposed Paint Shop Precinct development. It focuses on issues impacting that building as well as issues across the proposed development. Please note the disclaimer at the beginning. REDWatch is posting this so that others can access this submission and access some of the issues raised in the submission.

Is climate pollution from the NSW government’s proposed development on 10 hectares of public land near Sydney’s CBD creating an ‘urban coal mine”? On 5 April 2022, United Nations scientists told us we have 30 months left to stop polluting Earth if we’re to prevent or reduce the collapsing climate. From this August, we have 27 months left. Earth won’t wait for anyone. To honour Earth, respond to the U.N. timetable and for my own self-respect I’ve made a submission about the draft plan

Clover Moore has written to local residents on 14 March 2023, to make them aware of the rezoning outcome for the North Eveleigh Paint Shop Precinct. With the decision just before caretaker period the government will not be leafleting residents to let them know the outcome. Council has stepped into the void to make sure residents know what has been decided. The text of Clover's letter is below:

On 23rd October the NSW Liberal Party released its plan to deliver up to 15,000 additional dwellings across Erskineville, Macdonaldtown, Newtown and St Peters if elected. The Macdonaldtown location would have implications for parts of Darlington and Eveleigh in the REDWatch area. The Friends of Erskineville (FOE) have written to Mark Speakman setting out their concerns about the Liberal's proposal especially as it relates to the delivery of infrastructure. This is a copy of FOE's detailed letter setting out the issues of concern.
