19.01.2022 Property developers like Joseph Alha in Gladys Berejiklian's office isn't a one off. In 2019, property developers from astroturf group "Locals for Metro Southwest" had a meeting in the #BerejiklianBoardroom with no minutes/notes taken. #GIPA #nswpol #ICAC https://restoreinnerwestline.org.au/berejiklianboardroom/
16.01.2022 WHAT THE??? Gladys was in a close personal relationship with corrupt MP Daryl Maguire. The Premier's position is untenable. TIME TO RESIGN GLADYS. https://www.smh.com.au//icac-inquiry-live-updates-gladys-b
13.01.2022 Over-development in Chester Hill impacts neighbouring suburbs too!
13.01.2022 The NSW Government has ignored the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Sydenham to Bankstown line conversion recommending that the Metro be cancelled because in a nutshell its benefits have not been justified. There are also serious questions about the over-development arising along the Bankstown Line including west of Bankstown/non-Metro stations. The Parliamentary Inquiry also recommended that the direct train to City via Lidcombe (former Inner West Line) be restored, but the NSW Government has still not made any commitments to bring back our train services.
09.01.2022 DEVELOPER LOBBY GROUP WARNS NSW PLANNING MINISTER "IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU, MINISTER ..." It seems the developers' lobby group Urban Taskforce didn't like Pl...anning Minister Rob Stokes writing a nice letter to Ku-ring-gai Council advising them "The Members of Parliament representing your local area have been correct to identify that the target discussed with the Greater Sydney Commission is not a legal requirement upon Council by the Government". Minister Stokes letter continued "Council is responsible for deciding the number of dwellings in its local housing supply target and how it is accommodated within the local government area" and that "Council should carefully consider whether the housing target determined with the GSC accords with the expectations of the community". Urban Taskforce apparently got hold of a copy of that letter and wrote to the Minister telling him "It's not too late for you, Minister, to re-assert the need for population growth spread fairly across all Councils". "It now appears, through the letter that has been sent (by the Minister to Ku-ring-gai Council), that you have simply let them off the hook", Urban Taskforce CEO Tom Forrest told Minister Stokes. Minister Stokes took the developers' lobbyist's advice and the result was the Minister's warning sent to all councils that BPN posted on Friday, "Minister 'threatens' to remove councils planning powers". Let us make it quite clear, BPN does not think that a developers' lobby group should be advising any Minister on how to conduct their portfolio. Urban Taskforce made in quite clear on 8 April 2020 just what is happening within the planning system, saying "It is no-wonder that the NSW Treasury has been the agency driving planning reform in NSW". BPN certainly does not think that is how any planning system should be run. Planning should be the remit of the Planning Minister not any other Minister, not even the Treasurer. No Council, and particularly Ku-ring-gai residents, should allow the character of their suburbs to be irrevocably destroyed by emboldened developers and their lobbyists. We encourage Ku-ring-gai residents to write to their Liberal Members of Parliament expressing their concern at this unprecedented attack on their democracy and on their shire. Otherwise Urban Taskforce will next be demanding Minister Stokes repeal his Department's recent changes to the Seniors Housing SEPP in thirteen Local Government Areas.

01.01.2022 7 years ago the NSW Government started its plan to cut our train services in order to hand over the railway to property developers and private interests. But t...hanks to your support, we have made sure that Gladys Berejiklian will have a fight on her hands if she continues attacking our local communities. The 2013 timetable removing the Inner West Line's Liverpool via Regents Park train including the cutting of the Bankstown Line at Lidcombe was early preparation for the original plan to convert the line into Sydney Metro. We now know that Transport for NSW briefed Gladys Berejiklian about property development and land use opportunities along the Bankstown Line (including west of Bankstown) prior to announcing Sydney Metro Southwest. We have forced the NSW Government to backtrack on plans to replace trains with buses west of Bankstown. As a result of the community action over the past 7 years and the recent Parliamentary Inquiry into the Sydenham-Bankstown Metro, Transport for NSW has admitted that the direct train to City via Lidcombe (former Inner West Line) can be restored using currently available infrastructure.
