UPDATE ON GOVT LAND SELL OFF AT WOLLI BLUFF

On 2 April 2025, the NSW state government sold two blocks of vacant land at Wolli Bluff. The blocks were bundled together to attract a developer, and the public was excluded from the auction. WCPS opposes development on these blocks and handed out flyers to bidders as they entered the auction. The blocks sold for $2.93M. This post describes the events leading up to the auction, and what we can expect in terms of possible future development.

Events leading up to the auction

2022-2024: WCPS campaigns for a proposal to “green” Unwin Street in Earlwood. The proposal includes two blocks of land at Wolli Bluff (16-18 Bayview Ave). In a series of meetings over two years, our proposal is apparently supported by the Premier, the local member, Sophie Cotsis, three ministers (Kamper, Sharpe and Haylen) and Canterbury Bankstown Council.

February 2024: Without any warning or consultation, the two blocks at 16-18 Bayview Ave are advertised for auction, bundled as one.

March 2024: Independent Councillor, Barbara Coorey gives notice of a motion to re-zone these two blocks at a meeting of Canterbury Bankstown Council on 29 April 2025. On the day prior to the auction, this motion is included in the contract for sale with a new planning certificate that locates half of the larger block (Lot 2 DP 1237702) in an environmentally sensitive area (Coastal Zone, shown as a hatched area in the diagram above).

2 April 2025: The two blocks at Wolli Bluff are sold for $2.93M at an auction from which the public is excluded. WCPS hands out flyers to bidders alerting them to community opposition to development at Wolli Bluff.

There is a narrow strip of land at the foot of Wolli Bluff zoned National Parks and Nature Reserves (Lot 1 in the diagram above). According to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, there are plans to transfer Lot 1 to the Wolli Creek Regional Park.

WCPS has several concerns and questions about Lot 1, including:

the removal of trees and bushes
timing of the transfer to the Regional Park
Protections of the bluff from any heavy machinery used to clear the adjacent block (Lot 2) for development.

5 April 2025: WCPS put these questions and concerns to the Office of Strategic Lands and received a dismissive reply.

29 April 2025: Independent Councillor Barbara Coorey tabled her motions at a Council meeting. Both were seconded by Greens Councillor, Conroy Blood.

The first motion sought to re-zone 18 Bayview Ave and 16 Bayview Ave from Low Density Residential (R2) to either Public Recreation (RE1) or National Parks and Nature Reserves (C1). This motion was defeated by Labor councillors voting as a block, without any debate.

Councillor Coorey’s second motion calls on the Council to ensure the Department of Planning clearly marks the boundary between Lots 1 and 2 and ensures Lot 1 is protected. This second motion passed unopposed.

What are the implications for future development?

The narrow strip of land zoned C1 (Lot 1) cannot be used for residential development. WCPS will seek to ensure it becomes part of the Wolli Creek Regional Park.

The block at 16 Bayview Ave can be developed with a two-storey building for residential purposes with no environmental constraints.

The block at 18 Bayview Ave can be used for residential development but is currently subject to height restrictions and environmental constraints that require a comprehensive assessment of any development proposal (the developer cannot use a private certifier). WCPS will be pressing Canterbury-Bankstown Council to enforce these restrictions.

EXPLORING SECRET SYDNEY – UP THE CREEK

Last Sunday, on a sunny afternoon after a week of rain, a group of keen paddlers set off from the River Canoe Club on the Cooks River to explore the lower reaches of Wolli Creek. With the help of their enthusiastic guides, they learnt about WCPS bushcare projects in the valley, learnt some history, explored the mangroves and spotted shy water birds. The last Eco-Paddle for autumn will be on 1 June and places are still available.

PERFECT DAY FOR APRIL WALK

On a lovely clear April morning a group of strangers gathered at Unwin St in Tempe to walk the 5km length of the Wolli Creek Regional Park. Introducing ourselves, we started to discover shared interests and connections. Some of us had been here before, for others it was a new adventure. Ute, our experienced leader, showed us the route on a map, and began to share her knowledge of the remarkable social history and environmental significance of this special place.

Starting from Wolli Bluff and the SWOOS – so many stories – passing Wave Rock – admiring the dainty cottages at Jackson Place – onto Turrella Reserve – site of the former market gardens, revegetation “islands” and the fish ladder – pushing on up to Nannygoat Hill to re-enact that first environment protest – on to the flying fox camp – meeting Laura and Pat, a couple of WCPS heroes – via the enigmatic Russell’s Pool to Girahween – that jewel of bush regeneration – then across the road to Bray Ave where we encountered an active bushcare group. Inspiring!

We met and talked to several groups of walkers and distributed bookmarks to anyone who seemed interested. Admired the habitat stepping stones, the revegetation plantings and wondered at the diversity of habitats of the valley. Checked out the bioretention basin. Departed with new connections and greater understandings. Hope to see you all again soon in the valley!

That was the last guided walk for autumn, but we will be leading walks again in Spring.

GOVT SELLS OFF LAND BUT WCPS WOLLI BLUFF CAMPAIGN CONTINUES

The NSW state Labor government has just sold off part of a green corridor that it said it supported. This is an embarrassing backflip for the Premier, Chris Minns, who less than a year ago made a public commitment to preserve inner urban green space.

Two blocks of publicly owned land at Wolli Bluff in Earlwood were sold at auction on 2 April 2025 for $2.93M. The blocks are part of our Unwin Green Street proposal, which itself forms part of a wider green link between the Cooks River and Wolli Creek valleys.

The auction was held off-site at 50 Margaret St Sydney. The Wolli Creek Preservation Society (WCPS) turned up with a banner and leaflets warning bidders that council could soon re-zone the blocks, and that the community will continue to oppose development at Wolli Bluff.

The President of WCPS, Chris Jordens, was escorted from the premises by a security officer who said he was acting on instructions from unnamed NSW government officials. A member of the public was also denied entry to the auction and told that, on instructions from the NSW Government, only registered bidders would be admitted to the auction room.

This sell-off was no administrative error. It was intentional, and the government did its best to conceal its intentions from the community and keep the community away from the auction. According to a Planning Certificate given to the bidders only a day before the auction, the blocks are on ecologically sensitive land.

WCPS is pursuing a freedom of information request (GIPA) and will inform our members and the wider community about what we learn, although this will take time.

The WCPS campaign to stop development on the blocks at Wolli Bluff has only just begun. We will continue to campaign for a green corridor linking the Wolli and Cooks River valleys and prevent any destruction at Wolli Bluff.
