Our community understands perhaps better than most that legacy isn’t only something we remember. It is something we look after.
Victoria Barracks, Paddington is part of that shared legacy. Established in the 1840s, the historic precinct remains an operational Defence site and is deeply connected with Australia’s military history and the veteran community.
With Victoria Barracks identified for potential divestment, veterans and community members have been speaking up about its future.
A community rally will be held outside Victoria Barracks on Oxford Street, Paddington, from 12.45 pm on Sunday 25 October, calling for the proposed sale to be stopped.
We invite members who share these concerns to join the gathering or add their voices to the campaign.
This is not about party politics. Concern for the future of Victoria Barracks has brought together people and organisations from across the political spectrum, alongside veterans and the local community.
For us, the importance of places like Victoria Barracks is also deeply personal. Once places with that connection are lost, they cannot simply be recreated somewhere else.
