Three of Australia's most significant colonial sites — Hambledon Cottage, Elizabeth Farm, and Experiment Farm Cottage — are currently being assessed for the National Heritage List.

Together, we have already made positive progress — but we must now expand our campaign with the goal of securing heritage listing.

A proposed development of 320 multi-storey dwellings at Gregory Place threatens to permanently harm this heritage precinct, its historical sightlines, its archaeological fabric, and the quiet streets that define this precinct. Families in surrounding streets will lose their privacy and neighbourhood character.

These sites tell Australia's foundational colonial story. Once lost, that integrity cannot be recreated.

Sign our community petition to urge the Australian Heritage Council and Minister Murray Watt to expedite the National Heritage listing — before irreversible damage is done.
