Hugh Bamford Reserve saved from blight

"Protecting our iconic coastal areas from industrial development is

paramount. This is a win for the community, common sense and the

environment," Ms Rhiannon said.

"The major parties continue to display a disturbing lack of balance

when it comes to development.

"Jamming a two storey, underground $20 million depot into Bondi's

coastal cliffs should have been laughed away at the first instance.

"The community should be congratulated for their tenacious battle

against such a nonsensical project," Ms Rhiannon said.

Waverley Greens Councillor Mora Main said:

"This reserve overlooks iconic Bondi Beach and is part of the famous

South Head to Botany Bay coastal walk. With its rich Aboriginal and

early military heritage, it should always have been off limits to

development

"Coastal open space in Waverley is like gold. It is enjoyed by the

whole of Sydney and well beyond, and our responsibility is to protect

and restore its unique natural values, not to dig it up for a truck

depot.

"The Greens will continue to work with the community, and through

Council, to ensure our precious parkland is not sacrificed as a result

of ill-thought through development proposals.
