It sounds like the planning proposal for the site (31 O’Connell and 9 Albert Street) near the female factory has now been approved? Unlocking roughly 131 more dwellings

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

I think we’re going to see this attitude from councils for a long time, because making commercial and residential council rates even will probably be the least popular state government policy ever

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

@dimitrijemat7 Before I even opened it, I just knew it was gonna be about commercial floorspace, (they can charge magnitudes more for it over residential floor space)

It’s also no more net dwellings over the TOD, granted this might be more feasible as heights and FSR are concentrated, however those controls require amalgamation to be acrivated.

If this was over a much larger area this would be less of an issue.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

Anyone else seen (NSW) Bayside’s Rockdale upzoning? Is it me or this kind of shit? They are proposing this to deactivate the TOD, unclear if they were going propose more than one. Jack uplift outside the station, how is this a TOD. Also that’s the rezoning map (no FSR/height map)

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

Also they included a low density section for laughs, they claim “they had no choice” because it was over the M6.

Somehow they failed to factor this in their comprehensive planning approach when they choose the area to uplift.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

I hate reading planning document the first half is always repeating every demographic statistic they can find in arms reach. Please just throw that in the appendix and reference it when necessary.

I swear half these things are generated by AI.

Yet another YIMBY victory

The thing about walkable cities and suburbs is that the supermarket isn't the only thing I can walk to. I can also walk to the doctor, hairdresser, pharmacy, post office, pub, bar, cafe.. it's actually very efficient.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

@Lord_Beesus @JLininson Often what gets pushed is stuff that reinforces the mythology around the Australian identity. E.g. iview is full of token rural dramas that all seem kinda boring.

There are creators who don’t fit that description but work like there’s will never get that kind of circulation.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

Also note the categorisation “federal budget” lol

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

This headline is bad? If not misleading

Given the fact the RBA note in question refers to policy leading up to LAST ELECTION, and most people reading this are going to think of more recent budget. Feels inappropriately unspecific considering the timing.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

@_Z__ @maxdubler Yeah tell people to live where none of the jobs in established industries are and never will be, with none of the existing infrastructure that no one wants to pay for.

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

@johnloeber @maxdubler I don’t think really understand the goals of reform here, most YIMBYs would be okay with complete removal of height/floorspace controls, doing so wouldn’t mean a city will have indefinite growth

It’s easier to sell loosening controls over their removal, hence aim for 5x today

[angus khan @Angus_KST]

Also they voted to heritage list a building that recently went on sale.

Which kind of shows how prescriptive and reactionary some uses of heritage is. Like no one considered this significant until the idea of it changing crossed their mind.

Randwick council is mad they’re converting part of the golf course (not in their LGA) into more general green space?
