Stop the destruction of an entire historic Kings Cross block.

The issue

Kings Cross has been rapidly gentrified over the last few years by greedy developers with no association or connection with this historic precinct. It has long been Sydney's bohemian area and a haven for creative people and/or anyone escaping the conformity and drudgery of suburban living. This latest development application if it proceeds will raze an entire historic block including the infamous Bourbon and The Empire hotel, the old Les Girls from the 60's until the mid 90's. In its place will rise a generic, architecturally unimaginative block of 83 'luxury' apartments, over 100 car spaces and provision for 2 greatly reduced licenced premises. Please sign to stop this monstrosity being built.
