1. The existing Henry Deane Plaza is tired, uninspired and needs to be redeveloped. Leaving the plaza unchanged next to the new Atlassian headquarters would be a lost a opportunity for Sydney to create an important globally recognisable destination similar to the redevelopment of Kings Cross Station in London.
2. The architecture and design by Bates Smart is of the highest quality and appropriate for the prominence of location and will age well over the long-term.
3. The heritage post office building is in poor condition and needs to be reinvigorated. This project will improve access to the building and allows more of the public to enjoy the building through the change of use from hotel to retail.
4. The mixed use building is important to ensure amenity for the large amount of commercial office being delivered. The mix of uses is key to creating a destination which people wish to visit outside of business hours at night and on weekends.
5. With the global success of Australian born tech businesses like Atlassian, Sydney needs a home for tech and innovation that will attract the world's best businesses and talent.
6. Central Station is underutilised and needs to transform from a transit hub into a fully fledged destination in its own right. The new development around Central will allow this to be achieved.
7. The TOGA Central project seems to be providing key pedestrian links and will make the Central surrounds a safer environment for people traveling to UTS.

The Station is also in need of development. Our 'Central' station is by far the most unappealing station in the city with nothing to offer from a retail or hospitality angle. Look at Kings Cross or St Pancras in London as prime examples of what a modern transport hub should be.
Sydney has long talked of a Tech-hub but has yet to truly deliver on it. Having Atlassian, UTS and to a degree TAFE located in this hub might actually achieve what has long been attempted.

It is all about change now. How exciting it is to read though the TOGA submission.
In particular, the TOGA submission will enhance and activate Henry Deane Plaza whilst creating a vibrant new public space for commuters and visitors. The transformation of the Heritage Post building into a new meeting place for local workers, visitors and the community will be something truly remarkable. The design and form of the building is sympathetic to it's history, and signals a new frontier evolving for the people of South Sydney. For decades this precinct has disappointed visitors with it's lack of character and public amenity. What the TOGA design & built form delivers is a chance for Central Station to finally have a beacon that signals; "here lies the true heart and soul of South Sydney".
