During my involvement with the Hunters Hill Trust over the last 15 years or so I have written a number of articles and submissions and been involved in campaigns against inappropriate development.  Here is a selection of articles and submissions, which have been published on the Hunters Hill Trust Website or in the journal.

BUILDING IN HUNTERS HILL – CASE STUDIES

Some years ago The Hunters Hill Trust produced a booklet about buildings in Hunters Hill, which was an attempt to define the character of the Municipality.   Instead of attempting to update that pamphlet we have decided to publish on the website a series of case studies to illustrate various aspects of the character of Hunters Hill and how The Trust thinks we should respond to them.   We have also included examples of what we consider to be inappropriate responses where the character of the municipality is not enhanced.  Other case studies will look at new houses, alterations and additions to and existing houses.   We invite readers’ suggestions for examples to include in the case studies file as it expands.

The idea is for the case studies to become a resource for building owners to consult when considering making changes to their properties or building new houses.
