Redevelopment plans for historic Sydney rail workshops unveiled | Mattonews
Buildings up to 28 storeys will be constructed on 10 hectares of railway land near Redfern station in central Sydney under state government plans for a residential, entertainment and technology hub.
If approved, the area will have up to 450 new apartments in buildings ranging from three to 28 storeys, the final designs of which are yet to be determined. The Paint Shop is oppositeCities, Infrastructure and Active Transport Minister Rob Stokes said the 10-hectare parcel of land had been off limits to the public for more than a century, and he described the Paint Shop building as an “incredible canvas” to re-imagine Redfern-North Eveleigh.
Under the draft plans, 15 per cent of the apartments in the area will be deemed affordable or social housing, while a further 15 per cent are earmarked for so-called diverse housing ranging from student to build-to-rent accommodation. The City of Sydney council will be briefed on the plans in the coming weeks, after which it will make an assessment of the proposal.Wolter Peeters
