Channel 9 digs in

I received notice of a Development Application on the Willoughby Rd site last week and was curious to know whether this was a cosmetic makeover in preparation for a further attempt to sell off the site or whether it might mean improved/extended operational investment by the current owner. Apparently its the latter. The proposal being notified is for a building to accommodate storage, electrical and mechanical workshops. The new building is to sit where the former (now adjoining) sub-station was. It will be 2 storeys but as level one is significantly lower than ground level at Artarmon Rd, it will present as on single storey. Although the uses don't generate increased demand for parking, we will take the opportunity to revisit discussions we had once before about their instituting a shuttle service from Artarmon Station - or perhaps their contributing to the cost of running Council's local bus service which is due to commence mid year. This service will initially be a loop running between St Leonards Station and the Artarmon Industrial Area and including once it is operational, the redeveloped ABC site. I'm quite sure residents in surrounding streets who are being parked out by Channel 9 staff will be pleased to see less competition for kerbside parking - which would be our objective. Let me know your take on this - is it mostly Channel 9 staff who park on surrounding streets - let me know your thoughts?
