RALLY Saturday 24 February 2018

Make a stand at Marrickville Town Hall  |  12pm Saturday 24 February 2018

March together down Marrickville Road past Mirvac then rally at the Alex Trevallion Plaza - outside the Post Office.

NSW State Government’s rezoning of Marrickville to a Priority Precinct will mean the mass destruction of heritage streets replaced with high density, high rise towers up to 35 storeys.

* Eight storey apartment blocks next to your home

* Destruction of Marrickville’s character

* More than 10,000 extra residents

* Almost NO Affordable Housing

* NO new schools or parks

* Road and railways grid-locked

* Abolishing industrial land and 1800 local jobs that exist NOW.

There is still time to change this!
Marrickville has NOT yet been REZONED

Darcy Byrne: Mayor Inner West Council

“One of my New Year’s resolutions is that we will defeat the absurd proposal for 35 storey high rise at Carrington Road.”

Colin Hesse: Local Greens member for Marrickville Ward

Opposes the rezoning of Carrington Rd “1800 jobs lost from bespoke manufacturing, services and cultural activity … the absence of any new schools and meaningful public open space.”
