The 2023 exhibition · Read the breakdown

More support submissions — but not from the people who live here.

DPHI recorded 1,130 submissions in the separate 2023–24 DCP Amendment 2 exhibition: 636 support, 480 objection and 14 comment. The totals are not the whole story. Only 204 of the 636 support submissions — about 32% — were from the 2127 local area. 300 (47%) came from outside the area and 132 (21%) from Rhodes. Objections were the opposite: 393 of 480 — 82% — were local. DPHI also recorded that most objections (94%) were detailed, while over half of support submissions were high-level.

Objections local (2127): 82%
Support local (2127): 32%
Objections detailed: 94%

Residents are asking: if this proposal is so good for Wentworth Point, why did most local submissions object, and why did nearly half of all support come from outside the area?

Note on “local”: In this site, “local” refers to the 2127 / Wentworth Point postcode where that breakdown is used in the DPHI submissions report. Rhodes and other locations are described separately where available.
