“We were very pleased to be able to meet with Alexandria residents and hear of their issues and concerns,” RWA CEO Roy Wakelin-King said. 

The RWA arranged for representatives of Channel 7, Global Television (also tenants of the building along with Pacific Magazines), Sydney City Council and SDH & Associates (project managers of the building) to be present to answer questions from the community.

Issues raised ranged from better communication of future development, the need for the impacts on local parking to be further investigated, lighting after hours, public transport use, and the confirmation that no television transmission tower will be built in the area. 

“I trust the information that was discussed helped provide a better understanding of how the building and the surrounding area will operate,” Mr Wakelin-King said.

In a letter of response to meeting attendees, Mr Wakelin-King said action was being taken on the lighting of the building and at the round-about at Alexander Street, the reported metal-to-metal noise from the air conditioning units, bollards to prevent vehicles accessing the park from Alexander Street, and parking options in consultation with the City of Sydney Council.
