It is wrong for Lend Lease to portray that it has public opinion behind them. This is one of the most overwrought steamrollered projects (refer to the former planning minister Frank Sartor's recent comments) where the Barangaroo Development Authority, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, the Department of Planning and especially the former premier decided they were going to back whatever the BDA and SHFA wanted and provide no criticism, oversight, safeguards or urban design improvements. I note that the current Part 3A Concept Plan approval has virtually no conditions requiring any design changes - how is that possible for a development that covers the equivalent of three city blocks?
