Aside from these major events, the other pages are packed with many interesting articles, covering a wide range of topics. In ministry we read about the commissioning of our parish SREs and two reflections: one by Michael Hanratty on 30 years as an Acolyte here, the other a farewell by Deacon Willy Limjap as his time of service at the Cathedral draws to a close.

  • FLEET STREET HERITAGE PRECINCT an Outstanding Cultural Funding Proposal for Parramatta
    FLEET STREET HERITAGE PRECINCT An outstanding cultural funding proposal for Parramatta A concept paper for discussion and development prepared by NPRAG and advisors June 3 2020 Fleet Street Heritage Precinct Business Case – June 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This proposal to restore and redevelop Parramatta's Fleet Street Heritage Precinct (FSHP) as part of a 30- hectare botanic and heritage public engagement site takes substantial 50,000-year human investment in this precinct and leverages its unique cultural authenticity into a world class cultural experience. Restoring and recycling the significant Heritage Buildings, First Nations' archaeological and living sites and, the enormous public landscape spatial scope of the Park – can be achieved for much less of the real cost of the 'Parramatta Powerhouse' project. This proposal also provides Government with many individual 'shovel ready' projects which provide a series of 'good news' announcements and local employment leading into 2024; mitigating adverse media and public outcry from the current unpopular model which will destroy heritage like Willow Grove, St Georges Terrace, and the Powerhouse at Ultimo and, spending over $1.5 billion on a ‘museum’ the people of Parramatta didn’t ask for. · Two main stages between 2020 and 2023-24 will see the completion and opening of the Fleet Street Heritage Precincts renaissance to include the existing heritage buildings renovated and conserved and complementing the sites already extraordinary existing arcadian land scape qualities. · This will be combined with the new innovative uses and activities associate with multiple venues including the unique signature Museum of NSW integrated and distributed across the site, attracting visitors across NSW and internationally to the Fleet Street Heritage Precinct.
