HPG Submission – Sydney Harbour National Park Draft Amendment to Plan of ManagementIn our last email (December 2022), we wrote about the Sydney Harbour National Park Draft Amendment to the plan of management to allow the construction of new buildings on Middle Head. HPG supports the establishment of an environmental education centre at Middle Head. However, it does not support the adaptive reuse of the Soldiers Institute as an environmental education centre, which requires the construction of new buildings and associated infrastructure in such an important environmental, cultural and historic precinct. Please read our submission here > Since making our submission, HPG has become aware of a highly relevant document with design information that was not revealed when public comment was solicited. This document, a Schools Infrastructure Project Update for Middle Head – Gubbah Gubbah, from October 2022, reveals an unsympathetic design for a large new structure adjoining the heritage-listed Soldiers Institute that is completely inappropriate for such a culturally sensitive heritage location.
