 The state governments decision to build a huge new Sydney Fish Market at the head of Blackwattle Bay is entirely at odds with the values and expectations of the Glebe Society, which was formed just over 50 years ago to protect the architectural heritage qualities of Glebe and has pursued a vision for unencumbered public access to a foreshore walk for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike for over 40 years. These values and expectations were supported and encouraged by the late Jack Mundey, whose vision, leadership, courage, innovative strategies and dedication to protect and retain some of the more significant buildings and streetscapes around inner Sydney, prevented what would have been some of the worst development ravages by NSW governments (state and local) and developers from proceeding. Sadly, the Glebe Society’s second president, ‘Peru’ Perumal died on 26 May 2020. Peru headed the Glebe Society during the heady days of the early 70s. Successfully fighting the destruction of Glebe on many fronts, Peru and other Glebe Society members at that time can be credited with largely saving our suburb from the bulldozer. If you’d like to know more about Peru and his achievements, see p.15 of the July Bulletin. You are invited to be a part of the ‘Glebe Community COVID Souvenir Sing!’ Have you seen any of the gallery style films of communities from around the world singing songs from the safety of their lounge rooms? Liz and Albert Lecoanet will be making this happen in Glebe (with the help of the City of Sydney). For all the details, see p.14 of the July Glebe Society Bulletin. Good news for our local footy club!The Dirty Reds are back! Just when you’d given up hope of watching footy in 2020, the NSWRL has today confirmed that Ron Massey Cup teams Wentworthville, Hills and the Dirty Reds will do battle with the North Sydney Bears, Cessnock Goannas and Maitland Pickers for the 2020 Presidents Cup. We will need all the support we can get, so keep an eye on our social media pages for further details! Competition will start early July. More details next week. |
