At the end of 2020, the NSW Government Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) was very busy putting development proposals out for comment. Shelter NSW made submissions on the Waterloo Metro Over Station Development<\/a>; Explorer Street, Eveleigh<\/a>, Cowper Street, Glebe<\/a> and, most recently, Franklyn Street,<\/strong> <\/a>Glebe<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Franklyn Street is a very significant proposal for yet another iconic and well-established social housing community. The development applies the Communities Plus<\/em> model whereby the existing dwellings are demolished to make way for a new, usually larger mixed (social and private) development. The ratio of the new dwellings is usually 30% social and 70% private dwellings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a great overview of the proposal and some comments from local residents we recommend this Sydney Morning Herald article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
