Save Lyne Park Foreshore

Robert Ugarte

The amenity and capacity of our neighbour sailing club, Woollahra Sailing Club, is being threatened by Council’s proposed Lyne Park Playground Renewal Project.

You can find out more about the proposal here.

Please encourage Woollahra Council to stop, pause and rethink the new development at Lyne Park before the planned construction in 2023

It would be very easy to move the proposed playground west and deliver a result that is a win for the whole community. Please Act Now! Sign the petition.

Feedback deadline closing soon - Watsons Bay Wharf Development Proposals

Newsletter Editor

A reminder that the deadline for leaving feedback on the Watsons Bay Wharf Proposals is closing soon.

Transport for NSW is seeking community feedback for the redevelopment of the wharf at Watsons Bay. One of the options proposed involves the construction of a second, additional piece of wharf infrastructure out into Watsons Bay.

You can review the proposed options here.

VA12SC believes that the construction of an additional wharf into Watsons Bay is unnecessary and detrimental to the users of this part of the harbour.

You can leave feedback by emailing wharfupgradeprogram@transport.nsw.gov.au or by completing the survey on the proposals here
