Fairland Hall Under Threat? Public Hearing 13 November 6pm Town Hall
Council is proposing to reclassify the site at 14 Church Street, on which Fairland Hall and the playground currently stand, from ‘Community’ to ‘Operational’ use. This land was originally gifted to the Hunters Hill community and reclassification would allow the whole area to be divided and potentially sold.
Although Council’s stated intention is that the site fronting Church St containing the playground and the Hall will be retained “for the foreseeable future”, this term is not further defined, which provides little assurance of its continued community use.
Nor has Council given any reason for re-classifying the entire site rather than just the two northern parts bordering homes in The Avenue, which it intends to sell. Once community land is lost it will never be returned.
Here is the Trust’s submission HHT Submission to NSW Planning re C A Fairland Hall, 14 Church St, Hunters Hiill.docx and for more information please see our web post of 23 August 2024 below.
This public hearing on Wednesday 13 November at 6pm in the Town Hall is intended to give the community an opportunity to expand on our written submissions and discuss issues with an independent chairperson.
