NOTICE OF INAUGURAL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SAVE DULLY ON WEDNESDAY, 29 AUGUST

​

Dear supporters of Save Dully,

​

It’s not often that a resident action group like ours can celebrate a substantial win in a battle with developers and their backers in Government.

​

But there it was recently with headlines in both newspapers about the NSW Government doing “a backflip” on its plans for high-rise rezonings as part of the Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor Strategy.

 

As much as the media stories sounded good, a quick look at the detail shows that we can’t be complacent. While the State Minister for Planning, Anthony Roberts, has indeed returned control of planning changes in the corridor back to Inner West Council, it will be guided by a ‘principle-based strategy’ to be completed by the Department of Planning.

 

We read that as meaning there is a way to go yet before we can be sure that the current halt in planning is anything more a slow-down in achieving the same goals as before.

 

So the “eternal vigilance” is required. As a result, we at Save Dully have prepared ourselves for the longer fight to save our suburb.

​

In particular, we have become an incorporated body under the Associations Incorporation Act 2009. As of last month we are “Save Dully Incorporated”. This means Save Dully will be a democratic organisation with an elected committee and the ability to hold its own bank accounts. But to properly set up Save Dully we need….you.

 

In particular, we need you to attend our annual general meeting.

 

When: Wednesday, 29 August, 2018 (7:30pm-9pm)

Where: Seaview St council hall, 14 Seaview St, Dulwich Hill

 

At this meeting, you will be able to formally join Save Dully Incorporated and nominate and vote for the positions on our Committee (namely President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and three Committee Member positions).
