Dear Ms Fu,
Thank you for the opportunity to register my concern and extreme dismay regarding the proposed demolition of Griffith House to provide a new services access road and carpark within the St George Hospital Emergency Department redevelopment.
Demolition of this local landmark to make way for an access road and a few car spaces is difficult to justify, and Griffith House is regarded by many of us in the Kogarah community as a significant representation of our local history. As Griffith House was built by one of Kogarah's early civic leaders, Mr Peter Hermann, a former mayor of Kogarah, who also played an integral role in establishing St George Hospital in the 1890's, I believe that the building meets several criteria to maintain its qualification as an item of local heritage significance and should be saved.
Whilst I do recognise the need to upgrade the emergency department due to the growing demands on health services in our region, and support these plans overall, I strongly appeal to the relevant State Government Departments to review the proposed demolition of Griffith House and to give every consideration to retaining this building within the Hospital's redevelopment. Perhaps relocating the building towards the boundary on Gray Street, or reducing the number of car spaces currently proposed would be a reasonable compromise.
Yours sincerely,
Kathryn Landsberry
Councillor, Middle Ward
Kogarah City Council

Hi Megan,
I am 18 years old and have always been a resident of Kogarah Bay, living with my grandmother, who is 88 and has been living here for almost 40 years. We would like to voice our opposition to the proposed demolition of Griffith House.
My grandmother has seen Kogarah change overtime. From what I have heard, up until recently this change has not been positive. Federation buildings such as Griffith House, although present in the community, are becoming a rarity. It should not be the case that we are surprised to find such beautiful and historical pieces of architecture still standing when they were once commonplace.
Our beautiful suburb of Kogarah is being overridden with dull apartments that line the highway and backstreets and cheap stores that have dominated railway parade (up until the recent changes in the Town Centre which are commendable). I believe that the proposal for 10 parking spaces where Griffith House stands is extremely detrimental to the character of the suburb and will do very little to alleviate the problem of parking around the hospital. If it is possible, an alternative could be to add an underground parking lot.
We thank you for your time and sincerely hope that the plans will be reconsidered.
