DADA is extremely disappointed that council did not support the amendments to the motion on Preston Market. We feel these would have helped tighten protections for the market and proved that council was not leaving open the option to demolish, move and rebuild the market.
If you listen to the reasons given by Councilors Amir and Newton for not supporting the amendments, in the clips below, you will hear very clearly that they want to keep as many options open as possible.
In our view that includes demolishing, moving and rebuilding the market on the Cramer Street side of the site.
