URGENT - Rally in Red for Marian St Theatre
After 13 years of closure, and repeated promises from Councillors and staff, Ku-ring-gai Council has voted to abandon the approved designs for Marian St Theatre.
We have one last chance to save it before the next Council meeting - or Marian St will be a long-term dream, if it ever reopens its doors.
This extraordinary decision follows over 20 years of reports, and $1.7 million of public investment by Council into Marian St. Instead, they have chosen to abandon the project, while easily finding funds for costly sporting projects such as $26.6 million for two basketball courts within St Ives High School.
The problem is not the money - it's the will. It's critical we show Council how much the community cares so they change their mind at the last second before the designs expire - before we lose Marian St forever.
It’s time for ACTION.
Rally in Red for Marian St Theatre
12 - 2pm, Sunday 2 August
