Beecroft Rd Church Sold

The disused but heritage listed old church at 179 Beecroft Rd was sold by Hornsby Shire Council this morning for $3M. 

We don't yet know who has bought it, or what their intentions are.

Save the Gang Gangs

A DA is being considered by Hornsby Council to develop the bush area at 89 Malton Road, close to the Byles Creek park and the lovely Byles Creek walking trail.  This area of bush contains the last known breeding pair of gang gangs, and a protest meeting is being held this Saturday morning in the park at Beecroft Railway Station trying to persuade the State Government to buy the land from the developers and turn it into a wild life sanctuary in perpetuity.

 

Please come along and hear what Dr Davis and others have to say on this issue.

The Powerful Owl also breeds in this area of bush.  You must want to save him surely!

Lyne Park Childrens Playground

The new childrens playground at Lyne Park has been nicely installed, with a paved footpath from Lyne Road in case the ground is wet, and the park is fenced off so the Off Leash dog park is unaffected.

 

Traffic around Beecroft Shopping Village

Following a very near-miss involving two Arden children nearly being squashed by a truck, the Wongala-Chapman corner site has been closed, pending a proper traffic-management plan being submitted.  The Police were present last week and apparently were appalled by the traffic issues. This week the middle site was operating with traffic backed up into Beecroft Road.  What will happen when construction of the Module is added to all this?
