I am very glad that submissions have been requested from those who are impacted by the further redevelopment of Darling Harbour specifically the Harbourside Shopping Centre.

My response is very simple: please stop any further development that involves an inappropriately over height building especially in an area that is considered to be the most over populated area of Australia.

I am sure you know the logical complaints against this development: the fact that it is far too tall for an area that has height restrictions, that it is overpowering the Pyrmont Bridge - a place of historical beauty that it is ruining an area that needs no further development. I don't think we can tolerate more traffic, more people and a building that dominates an area due to its absolutely unnecessary height.

The state government has already redeveloped Darling Harbour and built Barangaroo to an extent that is sufficient if not over developed already. Perhaps we should look to the City of Adelaide for a view of how to create a green corridor in our city planning or to the City of Melbourne on its ability to maintain its heritage and paying respect to the architecture of the past.

Please refrain from development that is not harmonious with urban living.
Kind Regards
A resident of Pyrmont

Why does the building have to be so obscure. Im sure a wider and lower building would look better. A tall and thin building looks out of proportion to the rest of the development. This would really impact on the way people see Darling Harbour.

In order to grow our future we need to redevelop and look ahead. I believe this project does so it brings darling harbour an awesome addition and extremely attractive to tourists.

As a business and property owner in Darling Harbour, I am opposed to the overdevelopment of the Darling Harbour precinct that is possible simply because it does not fall under any real controls.

Specifically Harbourside Shopping Centre wishes to encroach on Cockle Bay in a way that is totally unacceptable. I dont believe any further towers should be allowed so near the public space of Darling Harbour. Imagine if this and further proposals by Cockle Bay are allowed to proceed? We will be left with a black well instead of the current icon of Australia Day activities nationally.

Further the burden to the local traffic network by underground parking will gridlock these tiny streets, especially Darling Drive which has recently been narrowed to one lane each way.

Please dont allow Mirvac to develop what they have to be six times what they own. Don't allow pure profit to destroy our Australian iconic site because it will be gone forever.
