The NSW Government is proposing to demolish social housing complexes in Glebe to build high-rise buildings, so one church is advocating on behalf of the community to stop this from happening and spend the funds on supporting the current residents.
St John’s Church has been providing emergency assistance to the community through its Glebe Assistance Partnership Program (GAPP).
Senior minister Mark Wormell said the church exists to help its neighbours and these proposed changes have been creating increased anxiety for the people currently living in Glebe social housing estates – on the land the Government is planning to redevelop.
