Collectively they amount to 2,289,125 sq m – roughly 45% the size of the Sydney CBD. Suburb by suburb as of July 2017 the PCA (Property Council of Australia) recorded 873,693sq m in Macquarie Park, 822,496sq m in North Sydney, 314,017sq m in Crows Nest/St Leonards and 278,919sq m in Chatswood. Collectively these markets Sydney’s comprise of 51% Prime grade office space (Premium and A Grade) and 49% population Secondary grade. (Grade B, C and D).

From 6.7 million people 2024 both developments will benefit from the Sydney Metro project which will by 2037 see Victoria Cross Station constructed in the heart of North Sydney.

From 2019 other stations including Chatswood, North Ryde, Macquarie Park and Macquarie University will benefit from the Norwest Metro project. The sale and withdrawal of secondary grade office stock for residential conversion has been a typical theme in each of the North Shore markets, and we expect this to continue given Sydney’s 20 year population forecast of an increase from 5.1 million people in 2017 to 6.7 million people in 2037. 3 Tenant demand in the North Sydney Highlights office leasing market has $1.62 significantly Demand Tenant demand in the North Sydney office billion increased leasing market has significantly increased in the past in the past 12 months, a flow on from the 12 months tight vacancy of of Sydney’s CBD. sales volume due to Supply Development activity in North Sydney increased in assets has gained significant momentum in put up for sale the year to December 2017 with pre- commitments signed at both 1 Denison Street (Channel 9) and 100 Mount Street (NBN).

Background 1.1 Council profile The Ku-ring-gai Council Local Government Area (LGA) is located on Sydney's upper north shore, about 16km from the Sydney CBD. The LGA is predominantly residential, but contains significant areas of bushland, parkland, and waterways with often steep terrain. The LGA includes 1,100ha of council-managed bushland and 1,646ha of National Park Estate (Ku-ring-gai Chase, Lane Cove and Garigal National Parks) of which the dominant vegetation type is eucalypt forest. Development is concentrated along ridge-tops and medium density housing has arisen in areas near key transport infrastructure, such as the Pacific Highway and railway stations. Recent growth has occurred in areas in existing urban areas of Gordon, North Turramurra and Turramurra. Significant built infrastructure includes the north shore railway line, the University of Technology Sydney (Ku- ring-gai Campus), the CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics facilities, the National Measurement Laboratory and a number of community service facilities such as aged-care centres and hospitals. The LGA supports one critically-endangered and four endangered ecological communities which are ‘likely to suffer a loss of species if subject to repeated high frequency fires’ (Ku-ring-gai Council, 2006 in Ku-ring-gai Council, 2011a).

He and wife Beatrice (1885?-1978) moved into Villa Maria in 1920 and developed a fine garden. In 1929 they moved to a new house, Santos, at 11 Yosefa Ave. “Mr Aley, the architect, and incidentally the owner, has planned both house and garden with the utmost care, so that each should combine to make a delightful whole. The irregular shape and sloping nature of the ground presented many difficulties, but at the same time abounded with possibilities, of which he has taken full advantage. The most important thing, in a house of this sort, and indeed in any house, is aspect, and here it is just right.
