We’ve heard your concerns and have answered them in our
Frequently Asked Questions below.

Marquet & Mary Specific Project FAQs

What are the benefits of this project to the community? Marquet & Mary will bring benefits to the community by introducing new retail and commercial amenities, affordable housing for essential workers, and a welcoming new plaza at ground level with cafes, providing more dining options for the Rhodes peninsula. Additionally, the ground floor plaza will offer a convenient shortcut to the Rhodes Central shopping centre, making it easier for residents to access essential services and enjoy local amenities. What is being done to manage the impact of the project on local traffic and parking? The project will incorporate 266 parking spaces for residents and over 20 additional spaces for retail customers, adhering to strict government regulations to maintain acceptable traffic conditions. With easy access to bus services, trains, and a future ferry wharf, reliance on cars is expected to minimise impacts to traffic congestion in the area. Are there plans to include larger apartments suitable for bigger families? Yes, the project includes plans for over 20% of the proposed dwellings to be three-bedroom apartments, specifically designed to accommodate larger families and provide ample living space. Will the height of the new building overshadow public spaces, such as McIlwaine Park? Qualified experts have undertaken an overshadowing assessment which it confirms that McIlwaine Park and Union Square will not be impacted by the new building. This ensures that these public spaces will continue to receive adequate sunlight and remain enjoyable spaces for the community. How will construction activities be managed to minimise disruption to the community? Construction activities will adhere to strict working hours set by Canada Bay Council, with no noisy activities allowed on weekends. Vibration and noise levels will be continuously monitored, and construction methods that minimise disruption will be employed to ensure the least possible impact on the surrounding community.

Precinct-Related FAQs

Why is this project being proposed in an already high-density area? The Rhodes peninsula has been identified as suitable for urban renewal through rigorous environmental impact studies and infrastructure availability assessments. This project aims to meet the growing demand for housing, including affordable housing for essential workers. Additionally, it will support the local community and economy by introducing new retail and commercial spaces. How will the project enhance the overall quality of life for residents in Rhodes? Deicorp is committed to improving the quality of life for residents by providing high-quality housing and convenient amenities. The ground-level retail spaces will offer a variety of new and exciting food and beverage options, contributing to a vibrant and lively community atmosphere that enhances the overall living experience. How does this project align with the state government’s future vision for Rhodes? The NSW Government has heavily invested in transforming the Rhodes Peninsula into a vibrant, mixed-use community. This includes new walking and cycleway tracks, enhanced public transport options, a foreshore park, a new plaza, and a foreshore promenade. Deicorp’s Marquet & Mary project aligns with this vision by providing high-quality residential and commercial spaces that promote a balanced lifestyle. Our project will support the government’s goal of creating a dynamic area where people can live, work, and enjoy a range of public amenities, ensuring a thriving future for Rhodes.
