The NSW Labor Government’s low and mid rise (LMR) The NSW Labor Government’s low and mid rise (LMR) housing policy has taken a one size-fits-all approach to planning, and our Asquith and Hornsby community has told me they want a better way.

We know NSW needs more homes, but I believe it’s possible have good planning and more homes.

That’s why I’m committed to an alternative to the LMR that allows councils to put forward their own locally designed housing plans provided they deliver at least as many new homes.

The state Labor Government has announced the final rezoning of the Cherrybrook Metro Precinct.

Here is what has been signed off. 

On the Cherrybrook side the rezoned area is between Robert Road, Edward Bennett and Ridgemont Close.  The whole plan includes up to 10,000 new homes over the long term - Cherrybrook has just 6,000 houses today. Apartment blocks of up to 27 storeys opposite the Metro station. Then dropping down to five to seven storeys next to existing houses. This is pretty similar to the draft. 

Based on what I have read, the Government has failed to address our community’s concerns aired during the consultation before Christmas or commit the infrastructure needed to support this rezoning. 

I think the decision is short-sighted, poorly informed, and overlooks real and significant concerns about our schools, roads, sports fields and commuter parking.

The concerns raised through consultation have simply not been resolved:
* No new school site identified, and there is no plan to upgrade Cherrybrook Technology High, already over capacity. There is some good news with demountables at Cherrybrook Public being replaced and classrooms upgraded - but this won’t increase this school’s capacity. 
* No funding for the New Line Road upgrade we’ve been promised for years.
* No new sports field identified or funded, despite the plan admitting they’re needed.
* No space reserved for commuter parking, despite how hard it already is for residents to access the Metro.
* And poor design, with seven-storey blocks backing onto single-storey family homes with no buffer between them.

Next week in parliament I’ll be calling on the Gov Next week in parliament I’ll be calling on the Government to install an opal card reader at George street car park in Hornsby. This is to make sure the car park is avaliable for commuters going to work, and not long term out of area parking. #hornsby #hornsbyheights  Authorised by James Wallace and paid for using parliamentary entitlements
