The famous Trash and Treasure Grand Bazaar in southwest Sydney is up for sale after a contentious $6.9m development application to demolish the markets was given the green light.
The Land and Environment Court approved plans from Trifalga Property Group to transform the community flea market – known for second hand clothes, furniture and street – into a 124 lot residential subdivision.
The site – situated on Camden Valley Way – has been advertised for sale with an estimated asking price of about $40m – dubbed a “significant land holding” located in a “key growth corridor”.
The markets reopened in 2018 following a brief closure in 2016 after operating weekly for 29 years.
A Liverpool Council spokesperson said Land and Environment Court’s orders were issued following a conciliation conference between the parties where an agreement was reached.
The application has a long history, as similar 2015 plans were refused by Liverpool Council for not satisfying a number of provisions – including the removal of land reserved for public access and recreation, alongside a significant risk to increased flood depths.
The Trifalga Property Group, which has named the project ‘Greenlands Horningsea Park’ says the plans for a low rise residential site would improve the area’s “critical lack of housing supply”.
“Our proposal for this project includes residential lots and a significant amount of vegetated active open space along the Cabramatta Creek,” a spokesman said.
Liverpool councillor and Leppington MP Nathan Hagarty said his main concern was the closure of the Camden Valley Way entrance into the subdivision which would lead to traffic congestion.
“We’re looking at potentially an additional 200 to 300 vehicles which will be funnelled through Carnes Hill or Horningsea Park, which are already gridlocked,” he said.
“I accept the area is zoned residential but given the growth in the area, there should be an additional entry and exit point on Camden Valley Way.”
Residents previously raised concerns as the plans would affect a combination of closed-off streets and cul-de-sacs, including Taubman Dr, Gungarlin Dr, Blackman Cres, Carruthers Dr, Tate Cres and Bulmann Ave in Horningsea Park.
Resident Lejla Kalender said the main entry into the subdivision will cut into her quiet street of Taubman Dr.
“The street is narrow and it won’t be able to withhold the extra cards coming through and parking on the road already takes up a lot of space,” she said.
A traffic report lodged as part of the plans state the projected increase in traffic will be “minimal”.
Ms Kalender created a petition on Change.org opposing the proposal which gathered about 25 signatures at time of writing.
