A decade-long impasse over the future of a notorious Sydney eyesore, the 1971 Edgecliff Centre, could be resolved if the 35-storey building wins approval.
New-look plans for what would be the tallest building in the eastern suburbs have been lodged with the state government in what the applicant hopes will end a decade-long impasse over the future of a notorious Sydney eyesore.
It reconfigures an earlier plan for a single, 45-storey tower that was rejected by Woollahra Council and a state-led planning panel in 2021. The new rezoning request was lodged with the government last month after the council failed to indicate support within 115 days. They point to Australian Bureau of Statistics data showing the population of the Woollahra Local Government Area had fallen 15 per cent since 1966, while one in 10 homes in the LGA has three or more unused bedrooms.
Under the council’s strategy, the Edgecliff Centre would be demolished for residential towers, but only to a maximum height of 26 storeys, and with a lower floor space ratio than sought under the proposal now before the state government.
