Marrickville has a heart.
Now it needs a centre.
We all know how great Marrickville is.
Vibrant communities, cultures coming together, great food, shopping and entertainment. But where do you go to meet friends? To watch the world go by? To grab a trinket from that cool little flea market? To sit and eat your banh mi?
As great as our suburb is - we are desperately short of public, civic spaces where we as a community, can come together.
Marrickville needs a ‘Town Square’.
Council is now drafting plans for giving us the big, grand, new public space that our suburb deserves. BUT… it will be voted on by each councillor - and they have told us - we won’t do it unless we see there is community support.
So you can help! Sign our petition below!
WE ALREADY HAVE A TOWN SQUARE!
Right in the middle of Marrickville. It has lots of foot-traffic, is ringed by small businesses, sits neatly between the train station and the high street, and is the gateway to Wollies Metro, the Gym and all the vibrancy of Illawarra rd eat street!
Only problem is - right now - it’s a carpark…
And it’s in the plan!
Council have actually drawn up plans for this! Our dream is getting closer! But it’s a battle! Some voices want to keep the carpark - so help us out!
