Rally To Save Union Square

Rally To Save Union Square 4pm

Saturday, 26 September

On Saturday, a coalition of concerned community groups and local small business owners from throughout the inner city will put on their dancing shoes in Union Square to protect a row of terraces. The local groups oppose the State government’s plans to destroy four historic terraces at numbers 9, 7, 5, & 3 Union Street. The CFMEU has placed a permanent green ban on the site. Pyrmont residents' emphatically argue:

• A false front is just pretend heritage for union square!
• No respect for the union green ban
• No respect for our 19th century heritage
• Save small family owned businesses and saves jobs
• The government does not respect the community’s wishes
• Metro’s community consultation was just a sham
• No proper documentation or costing of alternatives
• Why not use the casino -- the transport hub of Pyrmont?
• Or put the entrance on the vacant lot on 102 -136 Harris with frontage onto Pyrmont Street?
• Will the pyrmont village business survive?
• 5 Years of traffic chaos – 24 truck movements an hour bowling through the heart of Pyrmont 24/7. Sleep disturbance limits exceeded by up to 19 decibels.

We will not be rail roaded in Pyrmont!
