Public Meeting Friday July 16th
A Message from the committee of the No Lewisham Towers
Residents Action Association Inc.
If you are a local resident and want to learn where the Lewisham Towers development is heading and what has gone on behind the scenes, you should attend the Public Meeting at 6.00pm on Friday, July 16th at the St Andrews Church Hall, 2 Henson St, Summer Hill (cnr Smith St) to discuss the developer’s revised concept plan (see flyer). The Lewisham Towers industrial site is on the corner of Old Canterbury Rd & Longport St.
Either at the meeting or on-line at this website, you are encouraged to sign the petition responding to the latest proposal. The proposal can be accessed at www.lewishamestate.com.au.
As you will realise, things are starting to move so the No Lewisham Towers Residents Action Association Inc is updating and upgrading our website www.nolewishamtowers.org.
Meanwhile, we have met with the developer’s project architect and project manager and Urbis, the company commissioned by the developer to manage community liaison. We have been shown the proposed next version of the developer’s concept plan which will be put on public exhibition shortly. We remain concerned over several aspects of this revised proposal.
In the last few months while we were waiting for the developer to respond to the requirements of the Director General of Planning in relation to their first concept plan,
we have been active in meeting with various state and local government representatives and staff. We will report back on these discussions at the public meeting.
The No Lewisham Towers committee is gathering strength and expertise and has undergone some change with the inclusion of a number of new fellow residents. Due to his increased workload, Andrew Pfann has resigned as Chairperson though he continues as Company Secretary. Andrew has been replaced by a highly regraded and well connected cultural advocate and fellow Lewisham resident, Tamara Winikoff.
Another Lewisham resident David Melocco, an architect from Melocco Moore and Associates has also joined the committee offering his expertise in planning and design matters.
We also hope soon to have on board another resident – a litigation and mediation specialist with first hand knowledge of NSW planning law.
We are now seeking a fellow resident with a communications and/or marketing skill-set to offer some media support and guidance. If you are interested, can spare a few hours a week to contribute to the well-being of the community and can attend our monthly meetings, please contact us via our direct email: secretary@nolewishamtowers.org.
We look forward to meeting you on July 16th. It is in your interest to attend.
