A new NIMBY poll to have a little bit fun with

Here’s another NIMBY poll that needs some SSC influence so please vote YES to the poll in this news article!

Canberra Times’ heavily loaded NIMBY poll

It’s for a great building that Canberra (capital city of Australia) desperately needs to help bring life back into the centre of the city. The Canberra Times article has a heavy NIMBY bias and contrary to the article this site IS NOT heritage unless you call a dirt carpark heritage. The lowrise nextdoor is the Diamant Hotel and it is heritage listed and will be protected, and rightly so.

Here’s the SSC thread on the building –

The building in question is the render on the right below, ie, the 17 storey NewActon Nishi. It will have a very high green star rating if built.

Also from the image above, NewActon East has already been completed and The Apartments/NewActon South is under construction and has topped out.
