Rezoning of old suburbs in Sydney questions an erasure of heritage

In an effort to build more homes, the NSW government plans to rezone areas near train stations, where homes have existed since 1890. 

Plans to build 6-storey apartments in place have caused uproar amongst affected residents, especially with some suburbs falling under heritage conservation. 

Council planning experts have advised that these plans override heritage protections; however, premier Chris Minns reassures that mechanisms will remain in place to prevent them from being demolished.
