We have been looking at the use of the old playground taken out of Taylor St and using this as well as additional play units such as rope climbing structure and other elements to upgrade the playground at Spindlers park."
Discussion about ..."South Annandale Open Space and Bicycle Pedestrian Route" relating to land at and near Johnston Creek between Booth Street and Parramatta Road, Annandale, considered at Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 22 November 2011 - report with attached plan at www.leichhardt.nsw.gov.au (PDF)
Discussion about 2012 Annandale Heritage Festival
Presentation by council planners on the draft Leichhardt Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP). Changes to planning provisions can be all important: new types of development may become permissible or prohibited and the zoning of land may change. The devil is in the detail with planning instruments: a changed word, definition or boundary can have far reaching effects. Come and see what the changes mean for Annandale.
The mayor, Rochelle Porteous, is coming to the next Precinct meeting to answer our questions. If you wish to put a question on notice please send them to me as soon as possible and I will pass them on. This gives council some time to research the answers. Questions can also be put from the floor on the night. We will also invite the three ward councillors.
There is a lot afoot on Annandale, including: Living Streets, Booth St traffic and proposed works including a roundabout, new supermarket, council budget, big proposed developments on Johnston St, open space acquisition, draft LEP, cycleways, council's policy and practice on advertising signs, and Rozelle Bay industries, King Furniture site (refused supermarket DA). This is a great chance to be heard directly by council.

Woolworths Proposal for Corner of Parammatta Road and Trafalgar Street, Annandale
"There has also been some further discussion in the community and at Council about 233 and 233a Johnston St (Harold Park Motors site) about investigating the development by Council in consultation with the community of site specific planning controls to develop a plan that the community could be happy with. It's my understanding that this is rare at Leichhardt, though i'm aware that this approach has been taken at the former Multiplex site but not many, if any other sites.
If people agree, I think it would be worthwhile putting this issue on the agenda for Monday's Precinct for further discussion. I'd appreciate getting the views of the Precinct, and a further briefing from a Council Officer would also be beneficial. There are costs involved to Council and perhaps risks by taking this approach. Certainly worth discussion. Cheers - Daniel Kogoy
The Council has given a Local History grant for an investigation of the history and the social context of the painting of The Mural in The Crescent at Annandale. This was painted in collaboration with the community in 1980. It was renewed in 2005 when it was under threat, and the Council recognized its importance to the social and environmental concerns of the 1980's period. Many of these concerns remain. Few murals from this period of social activism remain. It is a proposed Heritage Item.
The message on the badge Is 'Kerr-ist Cocky got another election' Do you understand the message, and who painted the original message (a hint after 1975)
Many such messages are buried in the mural. There will be a visual presentation of the history by Bruce Lay and Rodney Monk. Rod coordinated the painting of the original mural at the tender age of 24, and came back in 2005 to re-do it. We hope to have some of the important players and residents with long memories at the meeting.
Be there: you will be re-making history!
If you cannot make it, please contact me to discuss. Your own story will be of value.

Mayor Parker informed the meeting, that Development Application: 74B Trafalgar Street ANNANDALE NSW 2038: Demolition of existing buildings, remediation of the site and construction of two (2) new dwellings and associated works, including boundary adjustment had been deemed to have been rejected by the Council and that the Applicant was now taking the application to the Land and Environment Court. Neighbours present at the Precinct Meeting voted that council should defend the rejection on a number of grounds.
