Blenheim Park expansion to go ahead after purchase approval<br />

The City of Ryde has won government approval to purchase three<br />

properties at Blenheim Park in North Ryde to bulldoze to create more<br />

parkland.<br />

The Council had accused<br />

the property owners of<br />

“holding out” to get the best<br />

residential market price for<br />

the properties but they responded<br />

by accusing the<br />

council of not making them<br />

a reasonable offer and<br />

sending correspondence to<br />

a defunct email address.<br />

Ryde MP Victor Dominello<br />

welcomed the government<br />

decision on Friday and he<br />

urged the council to start<br />

work on the new park as<br />

soon as possible.<br />

“These three residential<br />

properties on the corner of<br />

Epping and Blenheim roads<br />

were rezoned for public<br />

recreation to provide more<br />

open space for the rapidly<br />

growing North Ryde community,”<br />

he said.<br />

“The owners of the properties,<br />

who had previously<br />

attempted to have them<br />

rezoned for development of<br />

apartment buildings, then<br />

requested the council acquire<br />

the properties on the<br />

grounds of hardship.<br />

How to stand out?<br />

A budget make-up can increase saleability.<br />

• In your kitchen: change the door knobs, tap covers and resurface your<br />

benchtops. Do not change the tap positions to keep the plumbing cost low.<br />

• For the bathroom and laundry: re-paint dated tiles, change the vanity,<br />

basins or taps.<br />

• In your bedroom: resize your bed to make the room looks spacious and<br />

use window bay position for sitting /storage.<br />

• Remove old timber partitions to create open plan living, install laminated<br />

flooring to replace torn out carpet.<br />

• Put shelfing or overhead hanging unit for a high ceiling garage. Workshop<br />

area at back for the large one.<br />

• Update the light fitting, add shelfing in kitchen, bathroom or garage to get<br />

organised for a sense of storage. Tidy up and add cabinets to create more<br />

storage. Space is what you are selling for.<br />

“Following lengthy and unsuccessful<br />

negotiations to<br />

purchase the properties, the<br />

council then applied to the<br />

Local Government Minister<br />

for approval to proceed with<br />

the compulsory acquisition<br />

of the properties.”<br />

Mr Dominello said he<br />

looked forward to watching<br />

the community enjoy this<br />

new amenity.<br />

“Blenheim Park is a popular<br />

recreational hub for<br />

the North Ryde community<br />

internal cycle way for children<br />

as well as an enclosed<br />

off-leash exercise area for<br />

dogs,” he said.<br />

“Acquisition of these three<br />

properties will see the park<br />

expanded by six per cent,<br />

providing much-needed<br />

recreational space for the<br />

local community.<br />

“I have been a passionate<br />

advocate for expansion of<br />

this popular park, not highdensity<br />

development and<br />

I welcome formal approval<br />

of the process for council to<br />

compulsorily acquire these<br />

properties and turn it into<br />

reality.”<br />

Ms Upton said the NSW<br />

Government is committed<br />

to helping councils to provide<br />

much-needed open<br />

space for their local communities.<br />

“Recreational space is essential<br />

in rapidly growing areas<br />

to improve the amenity<br />

and daily lives of residents,”<br />

Ms Upton said.<br />

“I am proud to play a part<br />

in this process which should<br />

see the expansion of Blenheim<br />

Park proceed and I<br />

congratulate Mr Dominello<br />

on his hard work and dedication<br />

in fighting for the<br />

best interests of his local<br />

community.”<br />
