The residents of Kurrajong Heights are once again rallying against a proposed pup/poker machine development in their historic precinct, as the developer has submitted a new development application (DA) following widespread community opposition to the original plans. The revised proposal, lodged on August 16th, 2024, has sparked fresh concerns, prompting community members to resubmit their objections before the August 30th deadline.

Jeremy Braithwaite, leader of the Kurrajong Heights Heritage Committee, has been at the forefront of the campaign to protect the area’s unique character. In an email sent to the 135 residents who objected to the initial proposal, Braithwaite emphasised the need for immediate action, urging them to submit new objections as their previous submissions are now invalid.
