Update:
Tenders for the property at 95c Hinemoa Street closed on 17 July 2014, none were accepted. We understand that the property is now being “reconfigured” to better suit “developer(s)” interests and will be re-marketed again shortly.
A number of local residents have contacted us asking what can be done to protect the environment (including rare geckos), prevent parking pressure on small streets and to protect local residents’ interests. Additionally, that the Draft Unitary Plan would allow a minimum section size of 500 sq.m on this 12329 sq.m block.
The Birkenhead Residents Association has been working with local residents and with Council to explore ways to protect the landscape amenity views from Little Shoal Bay and also the habitat of a very rare native species.
This is a large bush block adjoining the south side of Glade Place and Hinemoa Street that is up for tender. The advertisement says “The sheer size and magnificent setting means options are endless and limited only to the imagination – whether it’s several dwellings, or just two or three unique, high-end residences discretely placed within this unique setting.”
Many local residents want to see adequate protection for this arm of the beautiful Le Roys Bush, and the enforcement of the SEA (Significant Ecological Area) zoning for this block will protect the interests of neighbours and the environment. Not to mention the rare native green geckos that are breeding in this area.
This property was for sale by Tender (unless sold prior) through Bayleys
