Court stops Erskinville Supermarket

Friends of Erskineville and City of Sydney Council have won the final stage; no supermarket will be built on The Hive site, Erskineville Road, Newtown / Erskineville.
Judgment was delivered in Artro Management Pty Ltd v Council of the City of Sydney at 9.30AM on 13 January 2009. Council was successful in persuading the Court that the development application did not comply with its instruments and would lead to unacceptable amenity impacts on the Erskineville Village area. The Development Application was refused and the appeal dismissed. On the Friends of Erskineville website you can find a copy of the judgment and the Court's reason for refusing the development application.

 

Village friends, the Friends of Erskineville Village wish to sincerely thank all our thousands of supporters in our community who have remained diligent, focused and committed since we began our campaign in August 2007 to stop this over development. www.erskinevillevillage.org Celebration Drinks - Join Friends of Erskineville at The Rose of Australia Hotel, Friday, 23 January from 1830.
