The Town Planning department said that they inherited it from the old South Sydney Council and it was out of date and not worth maintaining. It covered Angel Street, Gowrie Street and Angel Lane - exactly the area proposed for the supermarket. Could this be a political move to remove it from public access and hence it make it easier to push unsuitable developments through if nobody knows the heritage listing exists? I know from seeing the Council's long term plans (published last December) that they are going to permit 3 storey developments from the Imperial Hotel to the railway bridge along Erskineville Road and there was little mention of heritage listing. Is there any way you can ask that the Gowrie Street Conservation Area (CA27) be maintained and put back on the Council's website? What are heritage maps are being removed from the Council's website by stealth and vanish from people's memories? Regards Erko Enviro Hi,
