About us

Hunters Hill Trust is a community organisation with more than 40 years proud history of helping to preserve the unique heritage of Australia’s oldest garden suburb.
 
Incredibly, Hunters Hill has 1,244 listed heritage items, including buildings, sub-divisions, bushland, stone walls and 223 places listed on the Register of the National Estate!  It is a place of national significance – please help us keep it that way.
 
Hunters Hill Trust was formed in 1968 when it was the site of the world’s first green bans.  We have fought alongside others to preserve public lands around Sydney Harbour, including Kelly’s Bush and the Sydney Harbour Defence Lands.

We have over 300 members, many of whom are pioneering Trust members.

We contribute to various community forums:
  • Council’s Conservation Advisory Panel (CAP):  Tony Coote and Robyn Christie
  •  Bushland Management Committee:  Brigid Dowsett & Sally Gaunt
  •  Sustainability and Biodiversity Advisory Committee:  Brigid Dowsett &Sally Gaunt
  • Traffic Committee: Alister Sharp

    GOOD NEWS!

     

    Hunters Hill Council has won its case at the Land & Environment Court which supported Council’s rejection of the 4 storey  ‘shop-top housing development’ planned on the old bank sites at 58-60 Gladesville Road at the overpass.

     

    It found that the building didnt comply with the DCP, was too high, had insufficient setbacks and overshadowed neighbouring heritage buildings.  The judgment can be found here:
