Sartor dismisses rail heritage worries

Claims Australia's rail heritage is under threat from development have been dismissed by State Planning Minister Frank Sartor reports Rowan Barker Reporter Macquarie National News Friday, 08 December 2006.

Lord Mayor Clover Moore says sheds at the Eveleigh rail yards will be lost under plans to renew the site.

But Mr Sartor says the historic buildings will be retained.

"Our record in Eveleigh, the Australian Technology Park, shows that we do value railway heritage and we have by far the biggest amount of railway heritage probably anywhere in the world," he said.

"Any suggestion that this is a commercial plot to put in development is simply not true."
