We’ve seen this
playbook before

This is a pattern, not a one-off

  • Cleared, then stalled

    Just down the road, 194 Marion Street was approved, cleared, and then paused for years while seeking more height.

  • Asking for more

    The developer is now trying to add more storeys — a common tactic once rezoning is locked in.

  • Still vacant

    Years later, no homes have been delivered and the site sits unused. The community gets nothing.

    Much like 138–152 Victoria Road, Rozelle. Left vacant whilst an additional 4 storeys were sought post approval.

  • A familiar strategy

    Rezone first, promise benefits, then delay and reshape the proposal later. It happens all the time.

  • Community sidelined

    After rezoning, it becomes much harder for residents to object — and changes often happen without notice.

  • This is our real chance

    If we don’t raise concerns now, we may not get another meaningful opportunity to influence what gets built.

 FAQs

  • That site was rezoned, cleared, and left vacant. The developer later returned asking for more height. It remains undeveloped, despite being approved years ago.

  • Yes. Once land is rezoned, it’s common for developers to push for even more through amended DA submissions. Community power is significantly reduced.

  • It’s when the project expands beyond what was originally promised — more height, more units, less public benefit — often after the initial approval has been secured.

  • Not directly. The site was not included in Stage 1 and sits outside the designated uplift corridors. Even the developer’s own report admits it doesn’t align with PRCUTS goals.

  • Because rezoning is the key moment. After that, the controls change, and it's much harder to challenge height, density, or land use.
