Interesting to see the cost structure. Very expensive compared with HM, with 1 bedroom plus study (which is normally a very small room) at almost a million dollars. Also will have a large pool and gym, which seems pointless when the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre is literally around the corner. Plus better to have a builder like Ceerose than another Meriton building.
Also close to HM on the harbour side is The Bays Precinct, and there is a 'Call for Ideas', where input is requested with deadline of 6 July 2015. We plan to write about access to make sure there it is easy to enter from the HM side of the road, with plenty of open space and waterside access.
Well the cable car idea is still happening it looks like. See the Daily Tele article 9th June 2015 'Willing and Cable' by John Lehmann. It suggests that Chief Exec of govt. development David Pitchford of Urban Growth NSW is supportive. The route is Rozelle Bay, White Bay Power Station, Cruise Terminal, Casino/Pyrmont and Barangaroo. The Pyrmont stop would be on top of The Star casino.
ReplyDeleteWith it being privately funded for obvious reasons, I don't think this idea is entirely bad. But HM residents would have another transport option.
Hi Elana, thank you again for posting so much interestig latest info re:HM. We will also write to the Bays Precinct organisation along the same lines. The more submissiobs they receive, the better I hope! If we all write to them about public space, access to water etc. - the more chances they will make this a priority as per their current paper.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for the Meriton apartments information. This provides a good valuation comparative, i.e.Harbour Mill apartments now have a market value at least equal to the Meriton ones, assuming the Meriton apartments are selling successfully. I would also note that Harbour Mill apartments have excellent floor plans with big kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms as compared to most other off the plan apartments we have seen in the last 2 years.
