High Rise Forced Zoning has Started!

The state government has approved a plan for 4500 high rise (about six storey) dwellings along railway tracks in six north shore suburbs. Residents of those suburbs campaigned hard against the developments, but their concerns were overridden by state and federal plans to cope with Australia's surging population.
The suburbs involved are all in the Ku-ring-gai council area, at Roseville, Lindfield, Gordon, Pymble and Turramurra. St Ives is also likely to be included later. 5500 new dwellings have already been approved.
Full details of the plan will be released today.
