Minister Corbell's planned 15 storey high rise, high density building redevelopment along Cooyong St and Ainslie Ave in Reid must NOT be allowed to proceed. The suburb of Reid is NOT now part of the City Centre as stated by Minister Corbell on May 29 at the Committee Hearing for DV 308 (Cooyong St Urban Renewal Area). High rise residential with associated commercial development should NOT be allowed to encroach on Reid which is a leafy garden suburb with many heritage homes. I request that the proposed redevelopment in Reid be redesigned in sympathy with nearby residential housing AND with an 8 storey height maximum. Retail development should not be included.

The feedback I have received from residents confirms that the character of our streets remains a primary concern. I am currently gathering further documentation to formally challenge the proposed height limits during the next review phase.

The momentum surrounding our call to protect the heritage of Reid has grown significantly. This collective response underscores the importance of preserving our suburb against inappropriate development. We must continue to keep our focus on the goal of ensuring future progress remains sympathetic to the existing character of our neighborhood.

Why do they keep trying to change the suburbs into concrete jungles? 8 storeys is the absolute max this should ever be.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. The heritage homes in Reid are the whole point of the suburb. Corbell needs to rethink this whole plan.

15 storeys is just way too high for that area. keep it residential and stop trying to squeeze every cent out of the land.

Ridiculous idea. My family has lived here for years and we moved to Reid because it isnt the city center. Keep the high rises in Braddon.

No retail shops please. The traffic is already bad enough without adding more commercial space.
