A friend of mine who lives in Aus says her building and the park and trees included are threatened to be knocked and cut down. These trees are old and sacred, so is the park, and the building is original and loved by many, and holds loads of special memories.
What are the precautions to take to actually make the chance of a building getting knocked down less likely, and not have your opinion tossed aside? How do these things work? Like, if you make a petition and get people to sign it, will they just toss it aside? How does that work? What could they do to keep the building?
All help appreciated, thank you (:.
The most important aspect is to know the plans/dates for the demolition. Recruit friends to help. Be informed. Know the facts... an argument based on just emotion is often dismissed. An argument based on information, research and intelligence when backed by passion is harder to dismiss.
Living in the country here is Australia, I hate to see trees being cut down. Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing that can be done about it.
When we moved into our area there were hardly any houses about. Now there is only one vacant block left in our street. Everyone who had a house built here cut the trees down on their block of land before their house was built. I rang the local Council one day when I saw a particularly nice tree being cut down, and they told me owners of blocks of land were free to do what they liked on their block.
As to the building, The Greens just about run Australia now so you might have a good chance of getting a Heritage Order on the old building, then nobody could touch it.
yea get you and the rest of the tree huggers in your area to chain you self to it say on a tight rotation so theres never a time they can get it
its what I had to do to stop statue from been moved till court case.
and about the building prob good place to sleep while you wait your turn on the trees
stop moaning about it it happens all the time but if you want to do something go chain yourself to the tree or whatever and they cant knock it down while your chained to it
A petition can help, but the local political representatives can also be contacted to help
well, that was a waste of typing (: I already knew that.
anyone else?
The simplest solution would be to buy the building.
