Lord Mayor still on board but throws the ball back into the Pollies' court

Following representations at the recent Community Forum, forestlodgetrees campaigners received confirmation of our discussions and this advice from Clover Moore:

Thank you for the copies of your correspondence to Steve O'Brien and Monica Barone at the City of Sydney, and your letter and petition to the Hon.Tony Kelly, Minister of Lands, asking him to keep the Crown Land on Hereford Street in public ownerhsip.

... it is crucial that the local community continue to raise this issue with the new Minister of Balmain and the Minister. I will continue to support retention of this land in public ownership.
