Why
Residents call on the Inner West Council to scrap the Inner West Council pro-developer housing plan.
Inner West Council wants to demolish streets in Marrickville, Leichhardt, Petersham, Ashfield and Dulwich Hill and build massive private apartment blocks in their stead.
Their poorly publicised "Better Futures" Plan aims to add more than 35,000 dwellings to suburbs in Sydney’s Inner West.
The current plan has only 2% (going up to 3%) affordable housing which is anything but affordable at rents of 80% of market rent.
The plan will have a very significant impact on the built and natural environment of Marrickville, Ashfield, Dulwich Hill, Petersham and Leichhardt.
This will not reduce homelessness rates or rents. It won't assist workers, single mums, families or people with disabilities. Only developers and property investors will benefit from this plan.
The Inner West Council is ramming this horrific proposal through with minimal consultation.
The campaign is protesting before the Council meeting which will vote on the plan on Tuesday September 30.
Join the Better Future Coalition (BFC) to protest this abominable corporate takeover of the Inner West. The BFC is a grassroots initiative of concerned community members from Marrickville, Petersham, Leichhardt, Dulwich Hill, Balmain, Ashfield and Lilyfield.
