We,
the members of the Friends of Quarantine Station Inc, at the Annual General
Meeting on Sunday 23 September, 2001, call upon the State Government to
immediately halt the leasing process for the North Head Quarantine Station,
because it is
fundamentally flawed in that:-
i) the Conditional Agreement to Lease the site to Mawland Hotels Ltd,
completed prior to completion of the Conservation Management Plan for
the site, inappropriately pre-empts and directs the Conservation Management
planning process, to a point which makes a mockery of due process and
public input to conservation management of the place as a heritage site,
ii) the professional input provided by members of the Detailed Area Conservation
Management Plan Reference Group was repeatedly treated with undue disregard,
to an extent which compromises the whole basis upon which the Mawland
development proposal is predicated,
iii) the leasing process is proceeding even though the State Heritage
Council has clearly indicated that if approved, the development would
"materially affect the significance of the subject site as an item of
environmental heritage", and
iv) the financial justification for the entire leasing process is entirely
inadequate.
