Show Notes
Western Sydneys Jamisontown Church faces demolition for new homes, sparking controversy. Despite its empty status since 2021, its a prime spot for development. Faith groups across NSW eye underused land for housing, but strict zoning slows progress. An audit revealed 747 such sites could house over 20,000 new homes in Sydney. Locals protest, advocating for preservation and affordable housing. The listing was removed this week, with local investors aiming to keep the building intact. The planning minister and Penrith Council support quick rezoning and heritage studies. This could result in a win-win scenario, repurposing the church while preserving its legacy.
