The City of Vincent is heartbroken at the loss of life following the terrorist attack in Bondi.

The flag will fly for the entire month of November. Can’t wait to celebrate all things Pride with our wonderful community groups and many rainbow families in Vincent. 🌈

Update on Angove St petrol station application - preliminary SAT hearing.

Proposed Angove St petrol station.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MATTER IS STILL BEFORE THE COURTS SO MY COMMENTS WILL BE LIMITED
As we know, the Council has been consistently opposed to the proposal by OTR to re-establish a petrol station on Angove St. This position by Council has not changed.
Unfortunately the SAT did not uphold the argument about a lack of continuous usage on the site. But fortunately the SAT did accept the City’s assertion that any development on the site would require a DA. Importantly, before people get too distressed, please note that this is only one step in the process and only deals with the preliminary legal issues.
Council maintains there are many reasons why the proposed development(s) are unacceptable, including health and amenity impacts and a built form contrary to the vision for the area. We continue to work through the legal processes and will keep the community updated via the Imagine Vincent website. You may want to let OTR know how you are feeling about things with your socks.

Excited to get back to work with this great team! 🌟
