“A revised proposal to build a 21 high residential block and associated commercial buildings at Central has been deemed as a site of State Significance without community consultation, the final decision is with the Premier . These towers are far bigger than the approved concept plan.

​

The proposed development:

​

• Will Block public views of the harbour from Observatory Hill west of the site, Barangaroo Reserve, The Rocks, Millers Point and The Harbour Bridge and heritage buildings being hidden from sight from surrounding areas on and around the harbour

• Will be visible from all aspects of the harbour it is not a scaled development

• Prohibits foreshore access.

​

Is quiet steal of precious parkland and overshadowing of a community
 

It impacts Sydney’s and Australia’s iconic and culturally significant landmarks, public and water access for the people of Australia and tourism”
