CCG Efforts Recognised by Council

I'm delighted to share the letter I received from North Sydney Council which recognised the efforts of our Group in successfully achieving the state heritage listing of the Hayden Orpheum Theatre.
Special thanks to our Mayor, Zoë Baker for her personal interventions on behalf of our community, with the Minister for Heritage, the Hon. PennySharpe. Thanks also for the excellent work from the Council's planning and heritage staff for submitting a highly detailed submission that led to the heritage listing.
Our iconic Art Deco cinema will now be preserved for all to enjoy today and into the future.
WELL DONE EVERYONE! 👏👏👏

👏👏CREMORNE ORPHEUM THEATRE STATE HERITAGE LISTED
The Cremorne Conservation Group is elated by this decision.
Our campaign for this listing started back in 2022. A major highlight was our feature event at the Orpheum, under the auspices of the National Trust Heritage Festival, attracting an audience of around 500 patrons and VIP dignatories from local and state governments, to raise awareness that the Orpheum did not have a state heirtage listing (which was a surprise to all!)
Massive thanks to everyone for your continued support of our campaign, especially Mayor Zoë Baker, North Sydney Council, the Orpheum management, Heritage NSW, and the Hon. Penny Sharpe who made the directive to list this spectacular Art Deco complex on the State Heritage register for all to enjoy for many generations to come.
To join our Group (currently over 1,000 members) email me at –

Best of all - membership is FREE 😀
I hope to hear from you and have a great day!

PARRAWEEN COTTAGES PROTECTED WITH HERITAGE LISTING
On 20 May 2024, the State Dept of Planning approved the individual and group heritage listing of a row of 6 cottages at 78-88 Parraween Street Cremorne, to be known as the Parraween Street Group.

Built at the turn of the 20th century the Federation Queen Ann cottages are historic reminders of Cremorne's past. The group has additional significance as it provides a historic streetscape setting for the heritage listed Cremorne Orpheum Picture Palace on the opposite side of Parraween Street.

The photos show Parraween House at 88 Parraween St; and also 84 Parraween St on the right).

👏👏👏 Well done and thank you to everyone involved in achieving this amazing outcome after more than 3 years of the hard work.
