25.01.2022 Site of proposed Powerhouse Museum, bit of a worry

19.01.2022 Parramatta Orthodox cathedral receives approval! Plans for a $28 million grand cathedral on the banks of the Parramatta River in the CBD has recieved approval. The Hellenic Orthodox Community of Parramatta submitted the development application for 163 to 165 George St, Parramatta, in July 2018.... The proposal included plans for the construction of a new, purpose-built Place of Public Worship, as well as a public forecourt area and underground parking. Planning documents revealed the application proposed the construction of a grand Cathedral and public forecourt at the northern end of the former Parramatta Workers Club site. The key aspects of the proposal (comprises) a two-storey grand cathedral and includes a 400 seat Church with narthex, nave, sanctuary, chapel, mothers room, confessional room, priest’s office and seating within the mezzanine level, the proposal said. A hall and kitchen facilities, as well as a new forecourt, are also earmarked for the site. Parramatta Council planning representatives recommended the proposal be refused by the Sydney Central City Planning Panel when it meets to determine the development on July 31. Council officers raised concerns around building heights, the risk of flooding, a lack of compliance with parking and interaction of the proposed development with the proposed Parramatta Light Rail works. The development is not considered to be in the public interest and would result in the setting of a detrimental precedent for the desired future character of the locality, council representatives told the planning panel.
