27 Hall Street, Bondi Beach NSW 2026

5 stories is too high for this slim street. It will create a wind tunnel and a precedent for other developers eyeing off real estate in our precious little Hall St. and I do mean little.
The closer to the beach the lower the height limit should be. And under no circumstances should developers be allowed leeway on that for any reason.

I had understood the planning height limit to be 3 storeys in Hall Street. A 5 storey building will create a wind tunnel and also impact the surrounding homes and streets, casting a shadow. The only winner here is the developers, the 5 storey limit will impact views and property prices of all existing homeowners who are directly or indirectly behind this site. Please do not set a precedent for 5 stories in Hall Street . Developer gets rich all others suffer

I agree with Hyacinth. This new development will be too tall for the narrow street. Hopefully Waverley Council is not reverting to the bad old days of planned high rises in Bondi. With climate change and sea level rise Bondi will become like Rio De Janeiro beaches- and surfers Paradise beach and just have a shore break instead of a rolling surf.

Agree with comments. I object as too tall for the area.

The people saying 5 storeys is too high clearly can't be locals as there is a 9 storey building above the Hub just 100m down the road. This development is 4 storeys smaller and very much in line with the development of the area.
There is a desperate need for more housing in the area as it is very hard for young people and essential workers to find housing locally, more flats means more opportunities for people to live in and celebrate the wonderful neighbourhood that we call home.
Higher density is also better for preventing climate change so this development can help the council towards it's goal of contributing towards a better environment for Australia.
