With the fact that the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is exhibiting a master plan for the park which proposes development which, under the existing legislation, is not permissible?
Or with the fact that in 2002 the Act was passed to reassure the community that Callan Park would remain open public space, and yet in 2005 and again in 2007 the Government is planning to lease it to Sydney University for what appears to be four storey student accommodation and facilities?
What about the uncertainty for the community organisations and the psychiatric hospital that still occupy the site?
Or the mountains of spin ?
Eg - the University of Sydney presentation at the community forum stated that in 1873 when the land was purchased by the Government for a hospital, some local residents objected "as the land... had been originally advertised for subdivision as a residential area." So, are they saying we should all be bound by what our predecessors said in 1873? Guess I'll give back that pesky right to vote then. And hand back that University degree.
Check out the proposed master plan.
And the response from the Friends of Callan Park.
Submissions due by 22 February 2008.
