Rezone View Street Reserve as RE1 Public Recreation
The issue
Growing up in ever-evolving urban Sydney, I have cherished the moments spent in the greenery of View Street Reserve in Woolwich (Hunters Hill LGA). This space is more than just a piece of land; it is where families gather, children play, and the community finds solace amidst the chaos of city life. Yet, our beloved View Street Reserve faces an uncertain future as Hunters Hill Council considers the possibility of selling public green open spaces like View Street Reserve. This is unacceptable.
Public green open spaces are not just pockets of nature preserved amidst urban surroundings. They are essential elements of our community's health and wellbeing. According to the World Health Organization, access to quality green spaces is linked to improved mental and physical health, community cohesion, and even reduced crime rates. We cannot afford to lose this crucial resource.
Rezoning View Street Reserve as RE1 Public Recreation is an actionable step that ensures its protection for future generations. The RE1 zoning classification is specifically designed to safeguard lands intended for public enjoyment and recreation, preventing any sale or unwanted development. By taking this step, we preserve the natural beauty and recreational value of View Street Reserve - a sanctuary for residents of Woolwich and an environmental asset for Hunters Hill.
Furthermore, we must remember the intrinsic value that such green spaces hold. They represent our commitment to sustainable urban development and respecting the balance between nature and expansion.
I urge everyone who has found peace and joy within the View Street Reserve, or who believes in the importance of public green open spaces, to join me in standing up for its protection. Let us send a strong message to the Hunters Hill Council: green spaces like View Street Reserve are not just parcels of land; they are lifelines for our communities.
Sign this petition to demand that the Hunters Hill Council rezone View Street Reserve as RE1 Public Recreation, and protect it from the threat of being sold.
