While SSD-7874-Mod1 changes to conditions C12and C14 to stage 1 do not alter the intent of the consent documents, the respite periods still burden residential neighbours with unreasonable noise and disruption during the demolition. As experienced with previous Darling Harbour developments this disruption over 6 days a week can be unbearable. It is disappointing that the Department of Planning and Environments shows no regard for the quality of life of existing residents adjacent to the site. The concern over working hours has been expressed to Mirvac in community consultation with Mirvac for DEMP.
Removing the requirement for post demolition dilapidation report prior to stage 2 as required in D1 defeats the purpose of assessing impact of demolition on surrounding structures include not only light rail but the adjacent buildings including One Darling Harbour residential building. If damage has been caused to exiting adjacent structures, this needs to be address BEFORE stage 2 to remediate that damage while site is clear of any new structures. Not doing this is makes a mockery of good development planning.
