HI LOCALS
This is urgent and requires immediate attention.
We have only 14 days to lodge a response regarding a proposed major change to the development plans for the former Water Board site.
The original approvals have been significantly altered:
Bourke Street North
Originally approved: 12 storeys
Now proposed: 30 storeys
Young Street Tower
Originally approved: 21 storeys
Now proposed: 37 storeys
This represents an increase of approximately 67% in building height and scale.
Please take a moment to consider the serious impact this will have on our community, including overshadowing, congestion, infrastructure strain, and loss of neighbourhood character.
It is critical that as many residents as possible respond.
Submissions or enquiries should be directed to:

Please note: We have 14 days to express our concerns
Your voice matters. If we do not respond within the 14-day window, these changes may proceed without community input.
