What is the campaign about?

The Save Our Springwood committee is dedicated to preserving the character and history of the Springwood village by opposing the introduction of a large scale shopping complex.
We are concerned about the loss of public land that could result from the current revitalisation process and the implications of a public/private partnership.
Save Our Springwood is dedicated to increasing transparency within the process and for community consultation to be the first step in any future development within the village.

Facts about the Springwood Revitalisation Process

Rescission motion

Last council meeting, Councillor Brendan Luchetti, put before council the following Notice of Rescission with regards the Springwood Town Centre Project.

Unfortunately, due to the votes of Councillors Creed, Hamilton, Myles, Greenhill & Searle(2 votes as the Mayor) the Notice was defeated.

Councillor Myles put forward an amendment which effectively delays any further vote until February 2009.
He was supported by those councillors named above.

SOS would like to thank Councillors Mays, McCallum, Gibbs, Clark and Luchetti for their support.
Councillor McLaren is currently overseas.
