Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade - Approved

Transport NSW has approved this project which will build a new way to cross the harbour plus a faster direct route to reach Rozelle and inner west suburbs. A secondary benefit will be reduced traffic congestion on the Warringah Freeway, Harbour Bridge and Western Distributor.

Heading north on the Western Harbour Tunnel (WHT), drivers will emerge at Waverton and do north (bypassing the city/bridge altogether, but will be able to come through Berry Street to head towards the Northern Beaches.

The Beaches Link (BL) and Gore Hill Freeway (GHF) upgrade has also been approved.

The links below go to the official site with interactive info, docs. images and videos (driver’s view) of the new changes. You can also contact them with any questions.

2021 Community Agreement details

NSOP closes for renovations in March

North Sydney Council has signed contracts for the upgrade of North Sydney Olympic Pool (NSOP). It has been 84 years since major work was done and this is another sign of investment in community infrastructure from North Sydney Council.

The pool will stay open until the end of February 2021 due to popular demand over summer.

The development plan improves pool facilities for swimmers, families and kids, increases the stand size, and improves the gym area and café. Solar planners will heat the pool in the new design.

Lend Lease plan for Over Station Development

Lend Lease (LL) will start Over Station Development in January 2021. The Owners Committee sought clarification on measures to limit the impact on residents:

• Street obstruction - LL will ensure continuous carpark access and pedestrian safely on Denison St.
• Dust & vibrations - Environmental requirements oblige LL to mitigate dust and monitor noise & vibrations.
• Noise - With less excavation work, site noise is expected to fall to half the current noise level.experienced by Residents.
• Standard work hours - LL work & respite hours are: 7 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday and 8 am - 1 pm on Saturdays.
• Out-of-hours work - We will get 7-days advance notice of OOH work.
• Public consultation is coming next. Everyone will be notified when this step is launched.

The LendLease presentation below is informative. The Over-Station Development will deliver a retail boulevard with commercial floors above, and a train every 4 minutes. Denison Street will be a pedestrian-friendly laneway while maintaining our carpark access.

MLC Buildling Debate

The MLC Building on Miller Street and next door to the new metro site, is an iconic building and listed as local heritage with North Sydney Council.

A development application was submitted mid-year to North Sydney Council to demolish and replace it with a new building. This has caused debate over the last few months over whether it should be kept for its mid-century historical significance or replaced.

Some object to it being demolished based on the heritage status. Others may object to the constant strong of renewal projects, noise and dust occurring near our building. There is a Change.Org petition if you wish to register your objection.
