๐Ÿ›‘ MAJOR WIN FOR HORNSBY RESIDENTS! ๐Ÿ›‘
The Sydney North Planning Panel has unanimously REJECTED the controversial $30 million-plus development application for a 7-storey apartment block at 19โ€“23 Forbes Street, Hornsby.
Locals rallied hard against this overdevelopment, lodging over 80 submissions! The community voiced strong concerns about the sheer bulk, overshadowing, traffic congestion, and the fact that the proposed 69-unit complex sat well outside Hornsbyโ€™s designated Transport Oriented Development (TOD) zone.
The Panel formally rejected the developer's request to breach local building height and floor space limits, delivering a huge victory for the community and preserving the local streetscape. ๐Ÿ‘
But the fight isn't completely over yet. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ The matter is now heading to the NSW Land and Environment Court for an on-site hearing in early September.

Walking along Oxford Street in Epping, people were stopping to ask if we were from Council so that they could voice their grievances. This disruption to business has been going on for approximately 6 months with a further 3 months to go. The disruption to revenue is real and the concerns over what's in and out of scope are real.
