Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Suitman]

The under construction Lennox Tower was given a test today.

Appears as though it may have failed.
This building is 6 floors below those hoardings, and they weren't going to stop this flood.
I'ts under construction though, so this may not happen in the future, once completed.

The whole Riverside precinct got hammered today.

Normally....and then today.

And, some other pics...

Near the ferry wharf.....

And near the Lennox....and adjacent to the Riverside Theatre.....

A long read, but a lot of great things said about Parra......and well deserved too.
This will be an amazing addition to Parramatta's skyline and there'll be untold tourism benefits.

Lisa Havilah was only 21 years old when she opened her first art gallery. Growing up on a dairy farm in the southern NSW town of Berry, Havilah was, in her words, a failure at high school, disengaged and uninterested.

There's only 1 heritage listed building at threat, and it may very well be retained.
Have you seen the plans?
It'll be an absolute bonus for Parra.

Just shows you that being on the State Heritage Register, recognised as being of historical significance, means nothing to the government.

Imagine if I'd want to demolish my house (which is on the same register).

The only difference is that you can now experience an underground vista ala Town Hall Stn.

Yes, but underground now. From a revamped station. And,, into this....
