STPC and volunteers attend last sitting of Parliament question time (12/12/13)



The account of our attendance as recognised by one of our volunteer attendees:
‘Single file and in unison we made our way into the public seating of Parliament House. We were uniform in appearance, black tee shirts with Save The Palace splashed across the front of them in bright white and we were uniform in our intent, to preserve the amazing live music scene that makes Melbourne the great city it is. No noises or interruptions are allowed from the public gallery during question time and the small army of black tees and steely gazes showed an amazing amount of self restraint. The breathtaking architecture that surrounded us spoke volumes as to the history and significance of the top end of Spring Street. I couldn’t shake an image in my head of it getting bulldozed to make way for an apartment block…… Imagine the outcry from all who have visited and used such a wondrous place.
Questions were asked to the planning Minister and part of his response was uplifting ,in regards to enforcing height restrictions for developments at that end of town but among the sweeping hand gestures, the ever present opportunity to give the opposition a kick and the sense of grand theatrics, the core question remains unanswered. Will the Palace be saved? There is much work to be done and the inspirational Save The Palace crew still have a long and hard road ahead of them. We are privileged to help out in our own small way and would love if you took the time to sign up to the cause.’

  • I hope with our emails, this place remains open. I even spoke with Derryn Hinch and is suprised that this place is not heritage listed!
