Locals and council argue the suburb is already overcrowded and desperately needs green space—especially as the population is expected to double in the next 15-20 years. While turning derelict land into parks once made sense, today’s housing demand makes development more profitable, pushing communities to lose precious open space. Planning panels favor development, but the owner claims it’s financially unviable without higher density allowances. Talks continue to find a balance, but the choice is stark: housing near transit versus irreplaceable community green space.
