Here’s a reminder of the long journey…..

In 2012, following an approach by Support Lindfield, the then Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian put on hold the planned multi-storey commuter carpark to allow time for a better project to be conceived. Our Community worked together to create a vision for the Lindfield Village Hub that included a new heart to our Village comprising, town square, library, other community facilities, café precinct, specialty retail and supermarket.

Over the years Woolworths have put forward several proposals to undertake the project, like those they delivered for three other Sydney Councils. They proposed to build the Hub with limited money coming from the sale of the existing library site, no additional Council/ratepayers money was required.

Council rejected this, instead pursuing an expensive consultant-led process and have spent $9 million of our money. Despite an exhaustive tender process and with only one development group left (effectively Woolworths) Council is still unable to commit to starting the project. No results are in sight despite spending $3300 per Lindfield household. Yes, your $3300 for no results.

Our community is understandably very frustrated and disillusioned by Ku-ring-gai Council’s lack of progress. Change is needed if we want a different result, and it is now within the power of the community to achieve this at the ballot box. Support Lindfield will be supporting candidates in all Ku-ring-gai Council wards who will commit to making the Hub happen. We welcome collaboration with other community groups in Ku-ring-gai who also see the need for change. Email us at info@supportlindfield.net

It’s time to vote in Councillors who will deliver for the community.
