MORE PARKS!!!!

Under the government’s plans, about 15 buildings would be constructed on a land deck covering the regional and intercity rail lines which terminate at Central. The suburban rail lines would not be built over.

But Bates Smart managing director Philip Vivian said the government’s vision would be very expensive to build and result in narrow streets, tall towers blocking sunlight and a lack of connections over the uncovered suburban rail lines.

 

He instead proposes constructing towers on the area covered by Prince Alfred Park, freeing up the massive space behind Central to be used for a vast land deck covered by parkland. The existing Prince Alfred Pool, tennis courts and other public amenities would also be relocated to the land deck.

The plan by Vivian’s firm would create about 13 hectares of green space over the rail lines - almost double the size of Prince Alfred Park.

Authorities are investigating

Authorities are investigating what sparked a massive fire inside a heritage-listed building in central Sydney on Thursday, after an afternoon of chaos.

Key points:
  • Emergency crews were called to Randle Street, Surry Hills about 4pm
  • 120 firefighters and 30 trucks battled the blaze
  • There have been no reports of major injuries
 

More than 120 firefighters and 30 trucks were sent to Surry Hills about 4pm, where flames erupted from within the multi-storey building on Randle Street.

Several neighbouring towers were evacuated as firefighters battled the blaze which has gutted the former RC Henderson hat factory.

People began screaming as bricks and large chunks of walls started crashing to the ground.

Shortly before 6pm, NSW Fire and Rescue NSW Acting Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell said the blaze had been contained and that there were no major injuries sustained.

He said while the flames had made their way into nearby buildings, firefighters had extinguished them.

"I'm pleased to report there has been no indications of any injuries to members of the public," he said.

"It will be a substantial and very prolonged duration of firefighting to extinguish the fire completely so I suspect that we will be here all night and into the morning."
