Environment Office backs Barangaroo opponents

August 11, 2010 SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
Australia's biggest urban re-development appears certain to end up in court after the Environmental Defender's Office agreed to represent opponents of the $6 billion Barangaroo project.

The president of the Barangaroo Action Group, Ian Campbell, said the office has advised his members it would help them try to stop what they say is a fast-tracked overdevelopment of the old container wharves at East Darling Harbour.

Even Sydney's Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, who is a member of the Barangaroo Delivery Authority board which approved the Lend Lease proposal, said she remained concerned it was ''too bulky'', while the mayor of Leichhardt, Jamie Parker, called the hotel the ''monstrosity to be built in our harbour''.

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.
