The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) (Construction Division) placed a Green Ban on the site in April last year and a recent meeting of 200 union delegates vowed to continue to block work on the site.
NPRAG spokesperson Suzette Meade said the case brought by residents to the court was that Infrastructure NSW had failed to consider any alternative sites in its Environmental Impact Statement for the Parramatta Powerhouse Museum development.
Meade said the group is consulting its legal team about options but that “Legal proceedings were always our Plan B.
“Plan A has always been and will continue to be the power and the passion of the community with the unions, working together,” Meade continued. “In the spirit of Jack Mundey and with our Green Ban, we will save this site and Willow Grove will stay forever on Phillips Street Parramatta.”
