The News from Terry Street
Rats, weeds, graffiti and busted pipes

There’s absolutely nothing going on at the Terry Street site formerly owned by Carrier Air Conditioning, then by Multiplex Megaflops, now by the family-owned Anka Property Group. The deadbeat eyesore looks worse and worse by the month.

Trees, bushes and weeds flourish. Rats hold regular parties. Water leaks over the broken footpaths.

When the Anka board met Rozelle locals last December we heard that the very first thing they intended to do was demolish the Carrier HQ building. It's running with rats, said Anka founder Alex Boyarsky.

Indeed, they soon put in a DA for the demolition but Council said no, you can’t start any work without first having the full approved development in place.
“Unfortunately Council has made this seemingly simple task quite difficult,” says MD Andrew Boyasky. “Not surprisingly we have withdrawn the request.”

Meanwhile, off-site, Anka and council staff have been working on the official resolution requesting rezoning of the site by the Department of Planning. Says Andrew: “There has been a lot of information that the council has requested from us for their report which has resulted in significant time elapsing since our last meeting. Council staff now have everything they need and have indicated that it is a priority to get it on the agenda for a July meeting.”

Meanwhile, the local rats are living it up.
