Massive 30-storey towers in suburban Sydney could be on the cards if one local council gets its way.
It’s an ambitious plan to build massive residential towers in an ordinary Sydney suburb. But it is not without its critics.The high density housing, earmarked for Burwood in Sydney’s inner west, would make the suburb one of the highest-density suburbs in Sydney.It is fully dependent on the Metro West project and its Burwood North station being approved.
“The proposed densities within the Burwood North Precinct are in response to the significant opportunity associated with delivery of the Burwood North Metro station,” the plan reads.The bold plan includes one 32-storey and four 30 storey-buildings among other low-to-medium density housing which would cater for over 5000 new dwellings.
“Medium-rise housing will transition to the edges of the Precinct to ensure that future development responds to existing sensitive uses and low density residential development.”
