Indeed, the challenges around household formation for the young, and the challenge of affording rent while on retirement benefit for the older members of the community are huge problems for the city that need to be tackled.
@@lbell9695 Yes, livability of apartments is critical. They all have to meet the state govt apartment design guidelines. Above that their are green star rating targets for the buildings in the precinct, and tree cover targets (you would have seen all the green roofs in the renders)
Projects like this and the Aeropolis are great but it's a drop in the ocean - what we really need is a new city on the M5 on the way to Canberra - but the current M5 to Canberra cannot handle the extra traffic, it's already struggling in peak hours. And another city on semi-rural areas close to Sydney, like Glenorie.
25 000 is huge. Im pretty sure this will be a higher population than the bradfield development at the new airport. This proposal is a sensible high density development with nice amenities making it feasible for residents to walk or cycle for most of their errands. Once the metro line is complete this location will be around 10-15 minutes to both Westmead and the Sydney CBD. One if my concerns is the challenges accessing northern and southern Sydney via public transport from this location. Having this increased population and businesses may improve the case for more radial metro lines to this location. Benefiting the residents, commuters and people all over Sydney accessing major sport/entertainment events.
The light rail will travel north to south via a new bridge across the Parramatta River but I get that you probably mean further north than Melrose Park. Even one suburb over - Ryde, is impossible to get to from SOP.
I lived in Wentworth Point for a while, and they have to do something about going in and out of Olympic Park around the big roundabout next to DFO going through Australia Ave, one of the few entry roads into Olympic Park. It's not so enticing to sit in traffic for that roundabout up to 15 mins (sometimes longer) just to go home. It's specially aweful on the weekends as way more people pile in to head to dfo. Also the amount of near misses as people lose their patience and just gun it across a two lane round about has been way too many. Now more people are going to be added to that.
The light rail is connecting through Wentworth Point and has a station there which will hopefully improve things. DFO traffic has always been a bottleneck, hopefully the metro and light rail will have some impact on that too.
I wonder what they will do when it comes to noise pollution. There are flight paths which go directly over the area and the staidums concerts are so loud they can be heard 20-30 mins drive away.
Very skeptical about the light rail. I hope it happens but phase 1 of Parra light rail is already over 2 years late with many problems and no planned open date.
Light rail is also sooo slow in terms of transit times, it is definitely the B side compared to the Metro. That being said it does hold potential to help with the bad congestion currently at Wentworth Point.
@ Yes it’s slow but it does help people get to the faster transport, not everyone will live right at a Metro station. Not just hill road but also when it crosses the river the massive new development at Melrose Park.
So going to reduce traffic from 13000 new residents buy…..nsw govt to allowing builder to put in less resident park?!! I hope that is not going to be the case.
i wish they would take the 'sydney' part out of the name. the redundancy and level of potential confusion is ridiculous. 'olympic park' is all that is required
Stop making services, and start making houses, apartments and townhouses to fill the gap, 30min to get to a shopping centre is fine, just house people, get them off the street 100,000s of people enable them to live closer to the city centre... then build your version of Olympic park out west, and encourage businesses to go there so there is a business hub for every part of sydney.
Nurses can most definitely live there on $800 rent per week, the make 1730ish per week compared to $800 rent before a partner is considered. They just won't be saving up to escape the rental trap without a financially savvy partner or no generational wealth. As cynical as it sounds landlords can and will actually squeeze more. There's no chance this figure will fall without a significant decline in population aka materially caps on immigration
Don't forget, this is all before tax. The more you earn, the higher your tax rate. Many recent graduate geting low pay in the first few years of work, making it even harder for those caught in the rental trap. Capping immigration won’t have much impact-it might raise labor costs in the short term, but in the mid to long term, everyone ends up paying the price. The real solution is limiting people from buying multiple properties, increasing housing supply, addressing zoning issues, and opening more greenfield developments with jobs to match (which again ties back to zoning).
@@taochen9145 Your assessment on what needs to be done is largely correct. And yes quite an issue for nurses but health care workers often have access to salary sacrifice which you can pay rent with PRE TAX.
This problem and that problem and this problem and Harry's lens is focused on ..... immigration. "Phew", says the NIMBYs of Haberfield "we dodge attention yet again". They seem very happy to have everyone, including this OP, to go live in Orange and Dubbo, NOT THEM. Politicians,, public servants and developers, yayyyyy more attention on that one singular issue. Remember, focus!! Immigration. Not the NIMBYs. Immigration!!!!
Very detailed and informative video. I hope more of Sydney becomes like this
I think that it is going to be amazing for Sydney, we need more apartments
Indeed, the challenges around household formation for the young, and the challenge of affording rent while on retirement benefit for the older members of the community are huge problems for the city that need to be tackled.
The big question is: is the quality of the apartments going to be substandard like past apartments?

I wish they made more use ofbthe sports facilities at Olympic park like establish the NSW institue of sport or some sporting headquarters there

@@ChristianWiley-cf8gx Yes, north south connections from outer suburbs is a missing link in current infrastructure.

We need more apartments but no more macquarie park copy and paste ones surely they can add some variety
Include the subtitles as cc instead of hard coded on to the video
Fair call :)
@ thank you. Hope you keep making videos about transport and city planning since it affects us all who live in Sydney
agreed. no subtitles are better than bad or unremovable subtitles. we see it more and more and it's bad.

I remember being in Olympic park on a regular weekday, it was creepy as hell with barely anyone around.
Haha, yes. Hopefully not for much longer.
