The Westfield Group today said it had reached an agreement with Stockland and Colonial First State Global Asset Management over the 135 King St access issue, in relation to its redevelopment of Centrepoint, Imperial Arcade and Skygarden properties in Sydney’s CBD.
The settlement has provided for underground access from King St through to the Centrepoint and Imperial Arcade sites, extending beyond the existing access to Skygarden. A traffic management agreement has also been entered into between the parties to ensure the orderly management of service vehicles and tenant parking.
This agreement satisfies one of the City of Sydney’s conditions of consent for Westfield’s development application.
The second stage development application was lodged in June 2007 and is currently before the City of Sydney.
