The proposed redevelopment of the
Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney (RRCS) is the
major issue currently concerning residents of Putney
and surrounding districts. The RRCS plans to demolish
all buildings and infrastructure on the existing
18 hectare site, and in its place construct a new
centre, together with 900 new dwellings up to 6
storeys high on the remainder of the site. |

Similar proposals have already been
rejected by the City of Ryde Council. As a result,
the RRCS is now using the "State Significance"
legislation recently introduced by the NSW State
Government to overrule council and local resident
objections. We consider this to be a total bypass
of democracy and a direct attack on our rights as
citizens. |

| The
Coalition Against Private Overdevelopment
(CAPO) is a sub-committee of the PDPA that
has been formed to oppose this gross overdevelopment
of the rehabilitation centre site. At a public
rally organised by CAPO on 11 December 2005
over 1000 residents and supporters turned
out to oppose the RRCS development proposal.
