Have your say on a new residential development in Redfern

A proposal to construct a new hotel, apartment and retail building on the corners of Cleveland Street and Eveleigh and Woodburn Streets in Redfern will be on exhibition from today for community feedback.

The Department of Planning and Environment is keen to hear the community’s views on the application which seeks to:

• demolish the existing building
• construct a 5 to 7 storey building including:
  
  • 78 hotel rooms
  • 29 apartments
  • retail space
  • basement car parking

A spokesperson for the Department of Planning and Environment said the local community always has an opportunity to share their views.

“Community consultation is an integral part of the planning process and the applicant will have to respond to the feedback we receive and this is taken into consideration when we develop our recommendations,” the spokesperson said.

“It’s easy to participate by going online and we encourage everyone to take a look and have their say.”
