What Are We?

The Blackwattle Cove Coalition (BCC) has been established to represent the communities of Glebe, Pyrmont and Ultimo on matters of joint interest. It is our intention to work in consultation with the Wentworth Sporting Park Complex Trust, the City of Sydney and the various State Government Departments involved in planning the future of Wentworth Park and the Blackwattle Bay foreshores.

 

What Are Our Objectives?
For many years much of the Blackwattle Bay hinterland has been a neglected no-man's land dividing Ultimo/Pyrmont and Glebe. The Blackwattle Cove Coalition aims to rejuvenate this area and make it a significant asset to the surrounding communities by improving public access and community facilities in the Blackwattle Bay/Wentworth Park precinct. Our priorities are to achieve:

• Development of an integrated planning regime involving relevant State and local government authorities.
• Community access to the Blackwattle Bay foreshores.
• Integration of the portions of Wentworth Park presently administered separately by the City of Sydney and the Wentworth Sporting Park Complex Trust.
• Safe access to Wentworth Park and the development of community recreation facilities in the park.
• Sympathetic development of the Bank Street and Fish Market sites.

 

Who Are We?
BCC represents the residents and business communities of Glebe, Pyrmont and Ultimo through its membership which is drawn from the following organisations.

• The Glebe Society
• Glebe Chamber of Commerce
• Coalition of Glebe Groups (COGG)
• The Coalition of Pyrmont and Ultimo Associations
• Ultimo Village Voice
• Pyrmont Chamber of Commerce

Membership is not limited and can include other community groups who share the BCC objectives.
