One of Australia's largest shopping centre operators is exploring whether it can build apartments on 42 of its shopping centres. But while some claim this could help the affordable housing crisis, others have reservations.
There’s some wine / beer making gear on #freecycle in #hornsby if anyone is interested in a new hobby.

@jroper @maegul @[email protected] An example of somewhere that has done this pedestrian mixed space well in Australia is Hornsby in NSW, along Florence Street.
The street is paved with stone rather than gravel; it's level with the footpath; the area where cars are permitted demarcated with bollards rather than a gutter, to as well as with seating and planters.
Oh, and you know who is (or at least was) the local mayor of Hornsby Shire Council?
Philip Ruddock.
Yep, that Philip Ruddock.
It's not that difficult to do a mixed pedestrian space well.
If even someone like Philip Ruddock can figure it out, then frankly Melbourne City Council has no excuses.
