Despite the difficulties of COVID, over the last year we:
– had our biggest win yet: the new southern entrance to Erskineville Station to be built by 2023
– campaigned to save the Explorer St public housing from demolition and held a BBQ for residents
– held a bike ride to support the pop-up bike lanes to become permanent
– campaigned to save the Erko Rd Community Garden
– had a win in calling for developers to be levied for affordable housing in the City of Sydney
– campaigned for One Vote One Value in council elections, holding a public forum
– campaigned to stop the building of 390 apartments within the Sydney Park block
– campaigned against more poker machines at the Rose of Australia Hotel
– donated to OzHarvest, NSW Council for Civil Liberties and PlanningAlerts
– endorsed the Redfern Waterloo Aboriginal Affordable Housing Campaign
– maintained our affiliations with the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre and Better Planning Network, and
– kept the community informed via regular updates on email, facebook and twitter.

We look forward to you joining or renewing your membership. If you have just recently renewed, thank you for your support. Together we can make a really positive contribution to Erskineville.
