Exclusive: Planning Minister Anthony Roberts would need to override strenuous objections from multiple stakeholders if he is to approve he is to approve controversial changes to the final piece of the Barangaroo mega-project
Planning Minister Anthony Roberts would need to override strenuous objections from the National Trust, local MP Alex Greenwich, the City of Sydney, Millers Point residents and other stakeholders if he is to approve controversial changes to the final piece of the Barangaroo mega-project.
Independent MP for the state seat of Sydney Alex Greenwich opposed the plans in a scathing submission that called the modification “a second-rate proposal that should be outright rejected”.He said the “tower” would cast morning shadows over the Barangaroo waterfront and the planned Harbour Park, while the additional bulk of the development would overshadow much of Hickson Park during winter, as well as Fort Street Public School.
“If I was designing my own house, when you do a modification to your design it’s for a minor amendment, it’s for a small change. And this is much more than a small change,” he said. McCoy said Aqualand was “conscious of the sentiments of the residents of Millers Point around perceptions of view loss”, but the building heights originally approved for Central Barangaroo in 2007 would have obscured some views anyway.
