 Redevelopment Cnr South Steyne & Wentworth Street. Be Alarmed! The 9 storey hotel building opposite Manly Beach as part of the Royal Far West (RFW) redevelopment has been recommended by Department of Planning (not Manly Council) to go ahead. It will overshadow the beach from 4.45pm in Summer but no-one seems to care. This can't be allowed to happen. Attend the Public Meeting on Monday 18th February, 3pm at the Manly Bowling Club Raglan Street before the NSW Planning Assessment Commission. This will be your last chance to register your concerns. (Meeting now changed to 4pm due to public demand) This site is long overdue for redevelopment but the proposed 9 and 7 storey buildings were what was done in the 1980s when we didn't know any better. Most buildings nearby are heritage, and 2 - 4 storeys only. You can download a general flyer that outlines the issues in relation to this over-development below:

besides suggesting to the RFW that a hotel was a good idea has Mike Baird done anything?

Unfortunate that the meeting is at 3pm on a weekday. There are many people who have work commitments who I am sure would otherwise attend.

This is a disgrace and can't be allowed to happen. Why is a 9 storey building required so close to the beach... this isn't the Gold Coast. Locals must stand up against the apathy of faceless NSW bureaucrats.

They should look at the hotel on the beachfront at Brighton Le Sands on Botany Bay. Leave a Reply. |
