Our various web posts below detail the sequence of events in the fight against the Woolwich Marina Expansion, which have now reached an important stage.
 
Whilst Hunters Hill Council continues to take the legal and financial lead in this battle, they have also asked us and other supporter ‘Parties’ to provide a backup in the form of experts in the fields of heritage, landscape character, navigation and water safety.
 
The Hunters Hill Trust and Friends of Kelly’s Bush as joint supporters, have been lucky in securing the services of a very experienced heritage and visual assessment expert, and both organisations have now undertaken to cover his costs from our cash reserves, as our contribution to the expense of the legal challenge.
 
However, the extent of the funds needing to be raised to supply experts and support Council is estimated to be in the order of $60,000 which is beyond the reach of any of the Parties involved.    So, if you would like to support this initiative to oppose the marina expansion and donate to the fighting fund, you can do this now via the Australian Sports Foundation who have kindly set up a page for TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS:

MARINA EXPANSION FIGHTING FUND

All funds raised will go directly to the cause.
 
If you would like to donate directly to the Trust (not tax deductible) you can do so by bank transfer to: CBA Bank, BSB: 062000, Acct: 16211909, Acct Name: Hunters Hill Trust. Any and all donations would be gratefully received and carefully used for the above.
 
The arrangements for the onsite Land and Environment Court hearing on 4th September are being finalised – so watch this space!
