Restore the heritage heart of Balmain

After years of community campaigning, Telstra has finally agreed to the demolition of the front portion ofthe ugly Telephone Exchange building on Darling Street, provided Leichhardt Council pays for the work.

This will become a public park and will also reveal the heritage façade of the historic Balmain Post Office.

The former Greens-led Council allocated $320,000 to implement this plan however the current Labor/LiberalCouncil has slashed the budget and made the project impossible.

This important project is supported by the Balmain Association, the Balmain Residents Precinct Committee,Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee and the Greens.

Tell Leichhardt Council that you want to restore the heritage heart of Balmain.

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.
