TIGERS Rozelle Development

I thought the council had already moved the approved floor to space ratio right down to very basic levels, 1.5?, and a 3 storey development?

If they was already a large size approved why was the development still disallowed?

If this Wright bozo is just going to put another application in for a 20-25 storey building he should just put his hands up, say i've got no idea what i'm doing, and move to some other country far far away and have the site sold to someone with even a primary school intelligence.

And Tony you can understand even off those rough numbers why they would want to try and double or triple the number of apartments. But council won't approve it so they have to stick with 6-maybe 10 storeys

Of course they would want to double or triple it but the reality is that they can't.

So they either accept what they can do which is still making a very very good profit or they can let a good business opportunity slip. I know which i would prefer.
 
I can't see how it's being greedy to put in a DA that complies with what the council have already approved.
Just another way for the the council to put another nail in the coffin.
I say 'Build it and they will come!'
 
Just to get an idea of scale, does anyone know the size of Wests Ashfield in square metres?
 
Wonder if this now finally goes ahead whether Uncle Harry might be involved now, be right up his alley no doubt. They throw those meriton apartments up in no time.

In my opinion I think Harry will be involved somewhere along the line..he is a businessman and this seems like a good opportunity for him…Meriton Apartments would go hand in hand with Balmain,Harry is an avid supporter,sponsor and if he can help I reckon he will..just my thoughts though..

Ps..if they are done right and get the approval,there is money to be made for the club and Harry...
 
Harry will only be involved if the price is right. I can't see Rozelle village selling at a reasonable price given it is now into more than a decade of loss and expenditure for this development… Seriously, more than a decade!! I think that's what the council is also forgetting in their proposal, that they have cost these guys a lot of money with their inexplicable delays constant shifting of the goal posts.... Which they are doing yet again. It's weird to feel sorry for a developer, but I do feel a little bit of sympathy for these guys. It must be extremely hard to do business like this.

One way or another it will get built by someone by some developer. Having a rundown delapidated eyesore that currently stands is in no one's best interests.
 
Is there an election soon? Byrne seems to be doing a tonne of pandering lately. First the LO stuff, now this. He seems like a very spiteful individual with the way he conducts himself, especially the way he attacked the WT's board for not committing to LO for another 5 yrs after they made the decision to stay on till the end of the yr. Fair enough if he wanted to comment on it and express his disappointment, but instead of being professional and saying he'd continue to work with the board to reach an agreement, he reacted like a spoiled, snotty nosed brat bagging them for not committing. All he appears to care about is his own image.

I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that even if they didn't become financial that if they did down the track they could resume their shareholdings?
Nevertheless if it does get the green light prior to the due date to become financial officially surely they could get some sort of loan against the future incomes.
 
I hope this is true, the former State Labor Government and Council have a lot to answer for in relation to this. It has put Balmain Rugby League Club and Weststigers into a diabolical mess. I have spent many happy moments at that club and one of my favourite pics is if dad pretending to hold the NRL trophy whilst it was in the cabinet. He died last fathers day. He was the reason I supported Balmain and Weststigers. He was a teacher at Balmain primary school at one stage and took me to many afternoons at Leichhardt oval. I kept that up with my kids, no matter where we have lived. Win lose or draw we would finish at the club for dinner and to watch the presentations and hopefully meet the players. It was always great!

Local Government elections are 2nd September 2016 for councils in nsw. The election of the mayor is a separate choice on ballot the same day.
As in most cases the current mayors of councils will promise plenty and talk the talk between now and Sept 2016
