Successful Campaigns

Just days before Eunsil's scheduled deportation, Australia's Immigration Minister reversed his decision and announced her application for permanent residency under consideration. This wonderful outcome is in part thanks to the tireless CommunityRun campaign run by family friend Julie who launched a CommunityRun campaign to put pressure on the Minister. In Julie's words: "It goes to show that taking action through petitions and showing support for something we believe in is really important and worthwhile". Congratulations to Julie and the entire family!

Norwood Cork Tree can breathe easy now that Norwood's Development Assessment Panel rejected Coles' development application by an overwhelming majority, noting that such a development would lead to 'loss of significant trees'. This outcome is all due to a tireless campaign run by locals who refused to stand by a watch a heritage listed, culturally significant tree be removed.

After a temporary 9-month closure, the pathway has been re-opened. Campaigner, Mitch, says that community pressure definitely helped to achieve the re-opening of the path on time.

Got rules and regulations adjusted

The petition was delivered to Council and in just over a month, Chris' campaign to the City of Sydney Council won - with a redesign passing council that retained the laneway and provided new public greenspaces. Congratulations, Chris!
