Great care needs to be taken with a historic property such as this one. Strathfield is rapidly destroying its heritage houses.

I agree as well with the above comment posted by citizen. However, this is more a State Government problem rather than a local council concern.
“On 11 October 2021, the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Act 2021 commenced, which abolished the Certificates of Title (CTs) and the control of the right to deal (CoRD) framework. All existing CTs have been cancelled and CTs will no longer be issued. Existing CTs will not need to be produced, and CoRD holder consent will not be required, for a dealing or plan to be registered. All existing Guidelines subject to this change are currently being reviewed and will be updated to reflect these changes. For further information regarding the abolition of CTs, please see” https://www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/property-and-conveyancing/eConveyancing/abolition-of-certificates-of-title

It appears local councils are seemingly powerless today to prevent these residential redevelopments.

That said (both Strathfield and Canada Bay) councils need to crack down on property owner negligence, regarding maintaining and upkeeping of properties. Take a walk around Strathfield or Concord and one soon observes dilapidated untidy front yards and streetscapes with dirty cesspit aesthetics. Too many transient renters and not enough home owner occupiers, our once lovely and inviting communities are in complete disrepute today as a result.
Community starts at the heart of the homes.

Honestly, the development is not too bad. I do object to the entire site being developed. There is an ignorance of microclimate and the effects of heat radiating off hard surfaces. Where are the trees? On a side note at least this building is not being demolished. Embodied carbon is being ignored by Strathfield council. Please do not wait for government to tell you what to do, everyone has their own personal responsibility to mitigating the effects of climate change.

On the point of tree removal it is very interesting that trees seem to be alot healthier when they are located on corners of sites or along boundaries. I think there needs to be an investigation into all the poor to fair quality of trees in Strathfield and why this is happening?
