I am concerned for the future of our community if this development proceeds without appropriate safeguards, especially given the Department of Communities’ poor track record in managing existing social housing in the area.
Simone supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingIt is not safe to walk to the local shops anymore. It was never an issue until the government made the streets unsafe by placing a social housing complex in Ninth Avenue, Inglewood. If further social housing is allowed next door to Coles Inglewood then simply getting groceries will be hazardous.
Ann supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingInglewood is a safe, family and community oriented area. Large developments particularly are NOT conducive to this. Instead of social housing more small dwellings for young people and families community areas and small shops would do far more to invigorate the area, keep the community feel and help businesses which are already struggling with poor urban design and the continued increase in ‘sterile’ development. Willing Homes are great examples of great design and architecture. Furthermore, an unsightly building will reduce peoples desire to come to the area. We have had great innovation here with the community getting behind the night markets, the monthly markets, the arts hubs and the development of community street space such as that in front of the library. I am happy the council have rejected this plan and hope they will consider a more community minded development. The community is already experiencing the negative impact of poorly designed and managed social housing and I would be very disappointed and worried about the impact of more social housing on what is currently a lovely area to live.
Rosemary supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingSigned the physical petition form as well. We are directly impacted by the 100% social housing complex at 157 Ninth Ave. Inglewood has been an amazing community and place to live, but since the implementation of this complex, my family and I have felt so unsafe in our own home/suburb. Inglewood needs change.
Maddy supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingWe desperately need to keep our aged residents locally. Over the years they have contributed so much to our community. Now it is time for them to be cared for here in a familiar town.
Les supported: Urgent al Government Intervention to Save Gummun Place Hostel and Reform Aged Care FundingWe hear of these things happening to elderly or disabled people numerous times and it is heartbreaking because these Aged Care Homes / Hostels and Houses ought to be available for people so they can live out their lives in peace and security without having to worry about where they are going to live and living in uncertainty. Housing is such a big issue these days and we need to keep as many places open for our most vulnerable people in the community as possible. I do ask the Federal Government and / or the NSW Government to urgently intervene and save Gummun Place Hostel from closure so that 16 elderly people may not be displaced and have to find somewhere else to live out the remainder of their lives. For Councillor Troy Stolz to have to travel a hundred kilometres for chemotherapy is certainly a very difficult situation for him and many elderly people need constant medical care for various, complicated medical issues impacting their lives. For elderly people to have blood tests, and therapy and appointments of all kinds they need to be able to access these close to where they live in Merriwa, NSW, and not have to travel hundreds of kilometres to access these services / facilities. Mr Ryan Park MP is Minister for Health for the NSW Government and Mr Mark Butler MP is Minister for Health and Ageing for the Federal Government. Medical appointments are also very expensive and elderly residents are on a fixed income so the Federal Government needs to step in and assist people as much as possible with the PBS and Medicare and reform Aged Care Funding for elderly people.
Louise supported: Urgent al Government Intervention to Save Gummun Place Hostel and Reform Aged Care FundingAged care needs to be provided in a small community. Gumman place has been supported by this community- it is not part of a big, anonymous, money-making organisation. People care deeply about this; it matters a lot.
Anastasia supported: Urgent al Government Intervention to Save Gummun Place Hostel and Reform Aged Care FundingHaving my mother near when she couldn’t stay home any more meant I could contribute to her dignity and she didn’t feel lost and abandoned. Old age should be in community.
Jocelyn supported: Urgent al Government Intervention to Save Gummun Place Hostel and Reform Aged Care FundingI hope that when I reach the age, or medical necessity, to be in a aged care home, that it's community-based, not-for-profit, and available for all who need it.
The terrible industry record for faith-based, or for-profit retirement villages, or aged care homes, is not good in Australia. Hence why there has been so many inquests and government interventions.
It needs more improvement...
Dominic supported: Urgent al Government Intervention to Save Gummun Place Hostel and Reform Aged Care FundingTheir situation is so desperate, and without permanent residency, it seems tragically impossible for their parents, who are battling cancer, to survive. This is why I became concerned about this issue.
