Rally to save Tamarama Gully

The Greens Waverley councillors have been working to have Council

purchase 362 and 364 Birrell St and incorporate the land into the park

and to have the Birrell St 'road' in the Gully closed. This will help

save the waterfall and the Gully's unique Indigenous history.

The rally had as its special guest Jack Mundey.

Greens NSW MP and local resident Lee Rhiannon said, "The Tamarama gully

has been called the Cinderella of the Eastern Suburbs beaches -

nestled between the far more well-groomed Bondi and Bronte beaches.

"The time is ripe for this Gully, with its rich and complex heritage,

to be restored and returned to public hands.

"The government, working with Waverley Council, has a unique

opportunity to reverse the sins of the past which have been imposed on

this once magical gully.

Greens Councillor Prue Cancian said, "The community and the Greens are

urging Council to purchase the properties to help return this iconic

gully to local residents.

"We have a real opportunity now to gift Tamarama a deeper reputation

than 'Glamarama'.

"The Waverley area is already short on public open space, but

development in the gully threatens to rob more of this from local

residents.
