The Headland Preservation Group Inc (HPG) has been re-formed in response to the proposed large scale private development of an Aged Care Home at the 10 Terminal site on Middle Head (Headland Park). At the same time, the Sydney Federation Harbour Trust is also proposing amendments to its own Management Plan (for the first time ever since it was written in 2007) so that the aged care proposal can proceed. The proposal has been carefully studied by our group and also by people in the wider community (of all ages and backgrounds), many of whom were involved in the original battle to save these sites for future generations. It is not a proposal worthy of consideration and should not be approved in any form.Headland Preservation Group can now accept memberships and donations and we'd like to thank our community member and supporters who have already joined and and/or made generous donations to help us cover our costs to date.
The Headland Preservation Group seeks to:
Prevent private commercial development on public parkland.
Find better adaptive re-uses that are consistent with the environmental, cultural and heritage values of Middle Head and other Trust sites.
Establish a foundation to protect and support public foreshore parklands.
