Housing Strategy Protest Meeting

There was a very large turnout in Kilpark Park for a meeting discussing the planned 5-story residential zoning recently included in the Hornsby Shire Housing Strategy (2010). Greg Smith gave his views, with frequent loud applause. A petition was circulated and seemed to be collecting lots of signatures.

Kilpark Park was an excellent setting for the meeting, a delightful tranquil setting surrounded by trees so houses can hardly be seen, but which will, if the Darling Street rezoning is approved, have five storey blocks on its western boundary.

Regarding Darling Street, the housing stategy states "Traffic signals at intersection of Carlingford Road with Rembrandt Street are at capacity", and "Future traffic conditions in Rembrandt Street can be improved by road widening to enable provision of an additional right turn lane". I think most people who use the present shopping centre would agree with that, butwill one more right hand lane compensate
