Dear Sir
Re: Pemulwuy Mixed Use Development -- Application No 06-0101
Joint Submission by Residents and Landholders
1. The undersigned are residents and landholders in Eveleigh and Holden
Sts Redfern.
2. We support the provision of Aboriginal housing on The Block, and look
forward to a thriving community on this iconic Aboriginal land.
3. We support the provision of arts, cultural and sporting facilities on
AHC land in the Lawson St
precinct, and the adaptive use of the former Murrawina site for Aboriginal
community purposes.
4. We believe that commercial development is non-viable and
inappropriate except in the Lawson
St precinct, due to the abundance of this type of
usage to be provided nearby, and to preserve the residential character of the
surrounding area.
5. We are part of this community, we enjoy living here and intend to
remain. We will continue to be supportive of, and optimistic about, the future
of Aboriginal Redfern.
6.We oppose commercial zoning, use and development in the area on
which our homes stand.
7. We have not given, and will not give, consent to the lodgement of any Application that would deprive us of our homes and introduce commercial development in their place.
