Save West Bondi Junction - Design Charette Presentation

This document outlines the concerns of the Save West Bondi Junction residents group regarding upcoming plans to redevelop the West Bondi Junction area. The group represents local residents who love the fine-grain heritage homes, human-scale retail, and parks in the area. However, they fear the charette process could lead to a loss of these qualities through overdevelopment like high-rise towers that cast shadows and concrete jungles. As such, the group requests that any plans adhere to existing height limits and controls, help reduce shadows and wind tunnels, retain the low-rise nature around parks, and preserve the heritage character of the area.
