Killalea State Park Saved


South Coast Community & Union Alliance Claims Another Victory !

I write to advise of another fantastic victory for community – union activism on the South Coast hot on the heels of the Heritage Listing of Wollongong Harbour last week. The NSW Government has announced today that it has terminated the development agreement which would have seen the effective privatization of Killalea State Park. On behalf of the South Coast Labour Council I would like to congratulate all affiliates, the Environmental Defenders Office activists and in particular the Save Killalea Alliance for their commitment and perseverance in securing this tremendous victory.

This victory clearly demonstrates the effectiveness and relevance of Green Bans in our contemporary struggles.

In Unity
