More from the Hill Development Archives

As related in our previous entry...


we have to rely on what was published in 2015, about possible Rosny Hill development. Clarence Council keeps saying 'as Council has not received a development application, there is, as yet, nothing to discuss.'

The lower 2  images are not development applications, but from 2015 concept plans.


Here is the proposed location

The suggested project from Road Level : ie Public Bit
The suggested project wandering down and into Rosny Hill -
ie the private bit


This has been presented as an 'improvement' for Rosny Hill. It is the sort of improvement obtained in your living room when you kill a fly with a cricket bat rather than a fly swatter.

It raises huge ethical concerns: 

  • that of public land being disposed of in order to generate private profit 
  • that of air purifying vegetation being replaced by building materials

These concerns are not just Clarence Council concerns, but are inherent in the new state planning provisions.
