I object to the removal of Willow Grove house from its original location. This home is part of our great history of parramatta and i would would like to see it maintained for future generations.

I object to the unnecessary and wanton destruction of the unique Villa, Willow Grove in Phillip St Parramatta. This beautiful building has the history and cultural associations of Parramatta embedded in its bricks and position in that community. It has changed purpose but has remained the same. A magnificent building and grounds in the heart of the city.
The idea that a heritage building can be demolished and built again at another site is preposterous. Perhaps we could also destroy the Mona Lisa but make sure we get a colour photocopy to replace it! A new copy of the original Willow Grove will not be Willow Grove. You can’t replicate the materials, techniques and expertise of the tradesmen who made it. It will be an expensive imitation, completely out of context. This is a disgusting act of vandalism and a massive waste of tax payer’s funds.
A very poor effort. Think again!

I object to the demolition of a willow Grove in Parramatta.
This is our history and should be left intact for our future children To see and appreciate.

I object to willow grove being removed, we need our heritage to be preserved

I object to the demolition, and reproduction rebuild of Willow Grove, Parramatta. It is a building of heritage significance, cultural value and cultural identity.
It is beyond understanding that anyone would even consider tampering with the fabric of a heritage house and precinct, and worse than that, to suggest removing it ‘brick by brick’ to another location, to accommodate an inadequate so called Powerhouse Museum.

Willow Grove is aesthetically beautiful as well as heritage. We need as much of our built history for the future generations. Too much has already been lost to shoddy developments, and Sydney has lost his soul. We need to preserve the soul of Parramatta before it too becomes a generic, bland modernised blight.

European countries respect their heritage and are rewarded for the care and upkeep of heritage and historic buildings, with strong tourism.

No overseas tourist, in their right mind, would spend money to come to a parody of heritage, if Willow Grove were to be dismantled and relocated out of its historical context.

Please take the advice of the respected National Trust and leave Willow Grove exactly where it is, as it is, in its original state, in its original garden.

The destruction of the the places we love, and the building of ugly replacements is disheartening, and heartbreaking.

Please listen to the people.

I object ....

To much of our wonderful irreplaceable history is being torn down. Please don't make another mistake and demolish this beautiful building.

I object to the destruction and relocation of Willowgrove.

I object to the planned removal of Willow Grove and the rebuilding of a replica on a different site. The original building should be retained in its original position and any new building should be designed around it, enabling Willow Grove to stay.

Listen to the people. This is absolutely gut wrenching. What is wrong with you lot?????? This is vote changing for me.

I wish to object in the strongest possible terms to the proposal to move Willow Grove.

There is so little of Parramatta's heritage left, particularly in the CBD. Willow Grove the last of its kind in the CBD. It's no longer a heritage item if it's removed , just a reproduction.

Please, leave the Willow Grove where it is.
