ONE may well ask what has brought about the big changes in Lindfield and neighbouring Roseville and Killara?

WHEN Jonathan O’Dea has been the NSW Liberal MP for Davidson since 2007, and he again retained the seat in 2011 with the O’Farrell Government, and to date!

‘Building for Tomorrow … And ‘Delivering for Today’ is the current NSW Liberal Party Motto

DESPITE the protests from this Electorate concerning the demolition of beautiful Federation Homes and gardens for residential apartmentsit continues … as O’Dea resides in Lindfield with his family.

With a look at O’Dea’s Home Page it notes his Masters Degrees, and Bachelor Degrees along with two Diplomas in Legal Practice and ‘Mastering the Boardroom’ … no doubt this skills base has been very useful in Davidson for this MP …

BECAUSE all it seems the established residents can look forward to is a new underground carpark. Was this to placate them because their streets were being parked out? With the apartment developments housing X times the number of people as they replace detached homes on large grounds?

We continued with our wander in Lindfield and noticed among the real estate agencies there were Belle, Savills and First National.  The sign read for ‘First National Real Estate Lan – Dom’ … quite unusual don’t you think?

With a google search it revealed that Lan Zhang and her husband started their own agency in 2015. Behind them were 26 years sales experience for Dominic Smith and Lan’s 20 years in trading throughout China and Europe.  And her extensive reach to mainland China, her language skills, and full understanding of Chinese culture

Perhaps this along with some other Real Estate Agencies access to WeChat, Ray White’s Chinese ‘Home Link’ … could explain why there has been such a demographic change and population growth for the North Shore particularly in Lindfield?

AS the CCP expand out from their city of Chatswood!
