Three of Australia's most significant colonial sites — Hambledon Cottage, Elizabeth Farm, and Experiment Farm Cottage — are currently being assessed for the National Heritage List. We've made real progress, but we need to keep pushing to get this listing finalised.
A proposed development of 463 multi-storey dwellings at Gregory Place threatens to permanently harm this heritage precinct, its historical sightlines, the archaeological fabric and the quiet streets that define this precinct. The Maronite community at Our Lady of Lebanon Co-Cathedral will lose the skyline framing their sacred place. Families in surrounding streets will lose their privacy and neighbourhood character.
These sites tell Australia's foundational colonial story. Once lost, that integrity cannot be recreated.
Sign the petition to urge the Australian Heritage Council and Minister Murray Watt to expedite the National Heritage listing now — before irreversible damage is done.
