Court Strike: The 10-Year Battle for Bankstown Reaches Legal Flashpoint
Community Files Official Action to Save Historic War Memorial Church
BANKSTOWN, NSW — A monumental milestone has been reached. After a decade of administrative friction and community protest, a formal appeal was launched in the NSW Land and Environment Court on January 13 to halt the demolition of the historic St Paul’s Anglican Church.
This legal strike, spearheaded by Save St Paul’s Bankstown Inc. and a powerhouse legal team, marks a decisive turning point for residents who refuse to see their local history bulldozed for development.
