Protecting Sydney from Kurraba Group

Through steady action, we will ensure a bright future for Sydney by rejecting Kurraba’s problematic developments.

The City of Sydney must take a stand against Kurraba Group’s 100 Botany Road development, a project shrouded in misconduct, misleading claims, and a blatant attempt to sidestep proper planning processes. The developers have a history of dissolving companies to escape accountability, manipulating public consultation processes, and leveraging false promises of medical research to justify their overreach.

Approving this project as an SSD without ironclad guarantees of its true purpose would set a dangerous precedent, allowing developers to exploit planning loopholes for financial gain at the community’s expense. I urge the Council to defer and re-exhibit this proposal, demand an independent review, and ensure that 100 Botany Road is not used as a vehicle for commercial interests masquerading as public health benefits.

100 Botany Road and 78-82 Wyndham: One Scheme, Two Addresses

Kurraba Group is attempting to push through the 100 Botany Road development while secretly tying it to 78-82 Wyndham Street, increasing the value of their adjacent commercial property without proper scrutiny. These projects must be assessed together, as the developers plan to link basements and share parking, exposing a clear financial scheme that undermines transparent planning processes.

Demand Transparency: Stop the 100 Botany Road Development Now

This development is nothing more than a deceptive land grab, exploiting a so-called medical research facility to bypass planning controls while secretly benefiting their adjacent commercial property—Sydney deserves better than backroom deals and manipulated approvals.

Jane SmithConcerned Citizen

Kurraba Group has a track record of dissolving companies to avoid accountability, and now they’re using a fraudulent SSD classification to push through a project with no proven public health benefit—why should we trust developers who refuse to play by the rules?

False SSD Classification

Kurraba Group is using a misleading State Significant Development (SSD) designation to bypass proper planning scrutiny and public accountability.

Linked Developments Scheme

100 Botany Road and 78-82 Wyndham Street are financially and structurally connected, yet being assessed separately to conceal their true impact.

Dissolving Companies to Evade Accountability

The developers have a history of shutting down companies to escape past failures and community pushback.

Manipulated Public Consultation

Critical notices were removed, misleading information was given to residents, and objections were suppressed to prevent independent review.

No Guaranteed Medical Facility

There is no confirmed operator for the proposed proton therapy center, raising doubts about whether it will ever be built.

Affordable Housing Removal

Previously approved affordable housing lots have been quietly removed from the development, reducing community benefits.

Financial Instability of Developer

Kurraba Group is in financial difficulty, and delays could lead to insolvency, leaving an unfinished or repurposed project.

Potential Future Planning Modifications

Once approved, nothing prevents the developer from modifying the project to increase commercial use at the expense of public benefit.

Conflict of Interest Concerns

A City of Sydney planner approving the DA previously worked for Urbis, the consulting firm that advised Kurraba on how to bypass council regulations.

Unverified medical claims, hidden financial motives—Sydney must demand transparency and stop this reckless development before it’s too late.

If this development is truly about public health, then Kurraba Group must be held to the highest standards of transparency and accountability—not allowed to exploit planning loopholes for financial gain. The City of Sydney must step in, re-exhibit the proposal, and ensure an independent review before irreversible damage is done to our community.
