So, as we see 27 new town houses being built and coming to near completion in the corner of Hythe Street, Carlisle Avenue and Methven Streets sold for over $360-400k, there was previous speculation that the investment property owners were looking at seeking Council approval for 4-5 storey units (which supports and is reflected in the 'Blacktown Local Environmental Plan:BLEP).
Before I had recently move into this area of Mount Druitt (from another area), the local residents banded together against this proposal as it didn't fit into this area of Mount Druitt and it was probably too quick, too soon. It may have made this area of Mount Druitt look overcrowded.
Personally, even though that although Council knocked back this proposal now, because of BLEP, proposals like this will be approve in the future. The difference of providing 2 storey town houses to 3-5 level units could've have mean that we now accommodate for a less population of between 400-500 people. That means people that could have lived here will have to find somewhere else to live. Whilst we applaud the current increase in population, we are not assisting the country to allow people to enter or vast land and major population hubs. Population increases result in economic and social benefits, as we grow as an expanding community!
