In Sydney this year there will be much more than going to church and feasting. Acknowledging that July One or its Creole equivalent, ‘Zulai 1’ is no longer restricted to celebrating Christianity, the Lagaw Kodo Mir Torres Strait Islander Resource and Culture Centre NSW, with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts, have organised a week long exhibition of high profile Islander artists and performances. The week of festivities will culminate with an Ecumenical service and feasting on Sunday 6th July at the Redfern Town Hall. TIME TO BE CONFIRMED

The text of their leaflet can be found below: SAVE LEAMINGTON AVENUE - SAVE OUR HOMES 

MEETING FOR RESIDENTS AND SUPPORTERS

MONDAY 5 JULY, 5.15pm - 7.15pm

DARLINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL

(cnr Abercrombie St and Golden Grove, entrance in Abercrombie St)

On 4 June the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Railcorp is considering resuming and demolishing a block of historic houses in North Newtown to make way for a controversial new CityRail ''relief line''.  We have confirmed that this is a real and imminent threat involving all of Leamington Ave and several properties at the bottom of Pine and Holdsworth Streets.  Up to 34 families  face the heartache of  losing their homes and the amenity of the adjoining streets would be destroyed.  Leamington Ave, along with Pine, Randle and Holdsworth Streets, forms part of the historic Pines Estate Heritage Conservation Area.

  •      Our homes are at risk.
  •      Our community is at risk.
  •      Our neighbourhood heritage is at risk.

Transport NSW will decide on its 'preferred rail alignment' in the coming months.  We have a narrow window of opportunity to defeat this proposal. 

Please join us for a meeting with:

  • Carmel Tebbutt, MP, Deputy Premier and Member for Marrickville
  • Kirsty Ruddock, Environmental Defenders Office
  • Brian Watters and Chris Meale, Project Manager for City Relief Line, Transport NSW (invited)
  • Representative from Sydney City Council (invited)

The Following Information has been provided by Sydney University:

The University of Sydney’s Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan envisions a revolutionised and reinvigorated University; providing innovative spaces for learning and teaching, a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, and an inviting and accessible space for local residents and the wider community.

The University invites members of the local community to hear more about the Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan by attending an information and feedback session on Saturday 23 August. You will also have the opportunity to take a tour of public domain improvement works, innovative water and energy-saving green buildings, improved pedestrian and cycling links and areas for conservation throughout the University.

Community comments on the draft masterplan are important to the University and it is seeking your feedback and suggestions to assist it in finalising the Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan.

The community session is focused on the overall draft masterplan. The planning for specific University precincts is in its very early stages and the University will consult with the community on these as it develops its ideas in more detail.

Schedule of events – Saturday 23 August 2008

Drop- in session – drop in any time between 12pm and 4pm at the Holme Building, Science Road, The University of Sydney (next to the Footbridge Theatre). You will be able to view information on the draft masterplan and talk through details with members of the project team.

Tours – meet at the Shepherd Street Boardwalk, near the Abercrombie Street entrance, at 1pm and 3pm. Places are limited and we encourage you to book before the day.

To book a place on the tour, or for more information, please contact Lauren at Elton Consulting on 93872600 or email community2020@usyd.edu.au

The University is here for all of us to enjoy. Come in, explore and enjoy all the University has to offer.

  • Environmentally responsible - Protecting the environment for the future, by designing and constructing environmentally sustainable buildings, utilising new and innovative technologies.
  • Open to the community - Providing educational, cultural and social activities for all as well as encouraging public access to our attractive landscaped spaces.
  • Respectful of our heritage - Acknowledging the past and caretaking for the future, by ensuring the proper integration of new buildings of advanced design and sensitive landscaping with heritage buildings.

The Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan is available to download at http://www.usyd.edu.au/ab/about/docs/Campus_2020_Masterplan.pdf

The University realises that not everyone will be able to make the event, so it is currently developing a website containing clear information on the draft masterplan and a feedback function. You can email community2020@usyd.edu.au to be advised when the website goes live.

The specific areas of the masterplan where the University is seeking input from the community include:

  • How the University can best work with the  community to inform, and consult on the development of the masterplan and the renewal activities on campus
  • How we can limit any impacts of works on the local community e.g. traffic, site clearing and construction
  • The key features you would like to see in our campus of the future including:
    • Environmental sustainability initiatives
    • Building design and quality
    • Open space.
  • How you currently use the University’s facilities and grounds
  • How you would like to use the University’s facilities and grounds in the future.

Once a community group has been set up for this project, follow-up meetings will be organised to help plan and build the garden. These meetings will take place after work on the reserve is complete.
