Inner West Council wants to demolish streets in Marrickville, Ashfield and Dulwich Hill and build massive private apartment blocks in their stead.
Their poorly publicised "Better Futures" Plan aims to add more than 31,000 dwellings to a small number of suburbs in Sydney’s Inner West, while leaving others untouched.
The current plan has only 2% (going up to 5%) affordable housing which is anything but affordable at rents of 80% of market rent.
The plan will have a very significant impact on the built and natural environment of Marrickville, Ashfield, Dulwich Hill and Leichhardt.
This will not reduce homelessness rates or rents. It won't assist workers, single mums, families or people with disabilities. Only developers and property investors will benefit from this plan.
The Inner West Council is ramming this horrific proposal through with minimal consultation. The campaign has forced the Council to call a Town Hall meeting on Monday September 22. Then they aim to ram through the proposal at a specially called Council meeting on Tuesday September 30.
Join the Better Future Coalition (BFC) to protest this abominable corporate takeover of the Inner West. The BFC is a grassroots initiative of concerned community members from Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Ashfield and Leichhardt.
Protest before the Town Hall meeting, then we will go into the Town Hall meeting to show our dissent to the proposal.
5.30-6.15pm Protest outside Ashfield Town Hall
6.30pm Go into the Town Hall meeting
