Thousands of apartments planned for the Waterloo redevelopment in the inner city will make the suburb the most densely populated part of Sydney, new analysis shows.on the Waterloo public housing estate and the "Metro Quarter" around the suburb's future rail station. This would make the area roughly double the density of two of Sydney's most built-up suburbs, Rhodes and Zetland, according to analysis by urban planners at the City of Sydney.
The next densest area is the existing Victoria Park development in inner city Zetland, which has 3200 homes spread across 16 hectares, or 200 properties per hectare. "It's almost impossible to find anywhere on earth a government has proactively planned to build a development as dense as what this government is planning for Waterloo."
The 16-hectare Green Square development will eventually comprise 3800 homes, or 240 dwellings per hectare.The 6800 dwellings proposed for the Waterloo estate site alone would make it home to about 14,000 Sydneysiders, which is more than the population of the suburbs of Pyrmont and Rhodes. The City of Sydney has put forward a lower-density plan for 5300 dwellings in apartment blocks that would top 13 storeys at the Waterloo estate site.
