Car park opens at former Balmain Tigers Leagues Club

Property developer Heworth Development has announced they will reopen the carpark at the former Balmain Tigers Leagues Club site.

Commenting on the development application, Jamie Parker MP for Balmain said:

“Opening up the car park for public use is an important sign of goodwill from the new developers.

“This decision shows Heworth is serious about working with local residents to end the stalemate that has prevented any progress on this site for almost ten years.

“We don’t want to wait another ten years watching this site become more and more derelict but people are worried that the current proposal will create traffic havoc, over shadow homes and dominate the nigh street.

“With a development proposal for three towers 11, 12 and 13 stories high, residents and local business are right to be concerned about the scale and density of the development.

“I’m committed to ensuring we get an appropriate development on this site and see the return of the Balmain Tigers to their spiritual home.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
