An Appeal to Premier Kristina Keneally
Dear Premier,With great respect we thank you for
your enlightened decision as Planning Minister for rejecting
Eco-Village’s development proposal and for Heritage Listing
Currawong. Now as Premier we urge your government to consider
purchasing Currawong before it is too late. This is the last
opportunity for the State to negotiate a sale with one landowner,
Unions NSW, rather than 14 separate landholders in the future.
Should this subdivision be approved,
there will never be another opportunity to acquire the entire
Heritage site for the people of NSW. In addition a precedent will
have been set that could see a string of similar developments on the
Western Shores of Pittwater.
We appreciate your decision to visit
Currawong and see for yourself the extraordinary beauty and
tranquillity this latest Heritage Site offers. We appreciate your
decision to fully endorse the recommendations of the IHAP Panel of
Experts. The developers, Eco-Villages, have
decided to ignore or contravene many of the key recommendations of
IHAP, thereby ignoring the will of the Government, the Opposition,
Pittwater Council and the Community at large.
This development must not proceed.
Where others have failed may you succeed.
Shane Withington
for Friends of Currawong.
