Sydney’s city council wants to know why Crown Resorts wants to build the “landmark tower” of its hotel, casino and residential project on land that’s originally allotted for parkland.

A Casino News Daily report quoted members of the council who said the proposed Crown Resorts project is already at risk of turning into a “symbol of inequality” in the central part of the city.

In the middle of the fracas is a waterfront parkland that will be relocated near the tall residential towers of Crown Resorts’ $1.4 billion Barangaroo casino project in the city. According to the city council, this is already a deliberate move to show that customers of the future gambling venue are more important than the park being situated there.

City officials also took a jab at the luxury residential options of the project that targets well-to-do buyers, saying that the developers’ failure to add one-bedroom or studio units could lead to the project turning into a “symbol of inequality” in the central business district.
