Woolworths Proposal for Corner of Parammatta Road and Trafalgar Street, Annandale
"There has also been some further discussion in the community and at Council about 233 and 233a Johnston St (Harold Park Motors site) about investigating the development by Council in consultation with the community of site specific planning controls to develop a plan that the community could be happy with. It's my understanding that this is rare at Leichhardt, though i'm aware that this approach has been taken at the former Multiplex site but not many, if any other sites.
If people agree, I think it would be worthwhile putting this issue on the agenda for Monday's Precinct for further discussion. I'd appreciate getting the views of the Precinct, and a further briefing from a Council Officer would also be beneficial. There are costs involved to Council and perhaps risks by taking this approach. Certainly worth discussion. Cheers - Daniel Kogoy
The Council has given a Local History grant for an investigation of the history and the social context of the painting of The Mural in The Crescent at Annandale. This was painted in collaboration with the community in 1980. It was renewed in 2005 when it was under threat, and the Council recognized its importance to the social and environmental concerns of the 1980's period. Many of these concerns remain. Few murals from this period of social activism remain. It is a proposed Heritage Item.
The message on the badge Is 'Kerr-ist Cocky got another election' Do you understand the message, and who painted the original message (a hint after 1975)
Many such messages are buried in the mural. There will be a visual presentation of the history by Bruce Lay and Rodney Monk. Rod coordinated the painting of the original mural at the tender age of 24, and came back in 2005 to re-do it. We hope to have some of the important players and residents with long memories at the meeting.
Be there: you will be re-making history!
If you cannot make it, please contact me to discuss. Your own story will be of value.
