Aged Care Project in Sydney's Inner West: Balancing Housing and Flood Risks
Description
A contentious aged care project in Sydneys Forest Lodge faces scrutiny due to flood risks, despite being fast-tracked under state significant development rules. The twelve-bed facility and seventy-one independent living units, costing around eighty million dollars, are planned for Junction Street. Critics argue the sites location in a flood basin poses an unacceptable risk to vulnerable seniors, while the developer maintains mitigations and compliance with rules make it feasible. The decision could set a precedent for balancing housing needs with safety concerns.
