Green Bans Illawarra


"A Celebration of Community Unionism"
Thursday 29 April at 6pm
Regent Theatre, Wollongong

The South Coast Labour Council invites you to a special event celebrating community unionism in our region and to honour the struggles of unionists and our partners in the community to preserve our natural and cultural heritage. The Wollongong Town Hall, Regent Theatre, Killalea State Park and Sandon Point are all examples Green Bans placed on inappropriate developments by the union movement working together with our communities.

The night will feature the screening of the inspirational film "Rocking the Foundations" about the Green Bans movement in the 1970s. The film will be introduced by Jack Mundey, the former Secretary of the NSW Branch of the Builders Labourers Federation and Life Member of the South Coast Labour Council.

Tickets to this event will be available only through the SCLC Office on a ‘first come first served’ basis with a $10 donation to cover costs.
