Maybe the powers that be will pay even more attention now… 31,000 people on Facebook can’t be wrong and now Parliament itself has lodged an objection. The best news we have to date. Now we just need council to oppose and then lastly, the Department of Planning (State Government). Then we’ll be onto heritage protection so this never happens again.
Parliament objects to Palace development
While we wait and watch how this plays out before our next step, you can print off the placard below, take a photo of yourself and everyone you know and send it to us either in an email to or share it with us on facebook and we’ll include it in our facebook #savethepalace album. The intention is to put faces to the page likes and display them united to the decision makers when and where necessary.

Finalised rally details:
The sun will be shining, the equipment is booked, the location confirmed!

Only 100 metres from the steps and without interference from other rally’s scheduled for the same time, our rally is set to take-place in Parliament Reserve at the corner of Spring and Albert Street. Our cause will be clear. Here we will have more room for all of you, our ambassadors and our special guests.
Our generous volunteers will be out and about to steer you all in the right direction with their palace/metro rally signs from approx. 11.30am
We kick off at 12.
See you all there!
