wealth, all free and without responsibility.
Who could steal this from me?
No one!”
These are the words of Arthur Streeton,
one of the young artists who escaped the depression in Europe in the 1890s and settled in Curlew Camp, one of the established camps around our foreshores, in order to explore their environment and creativity. | |||

The point to be made here is that they look very similar and it's mainly because of the vigilance of residents, past and present, and the continuing role played by Mosman Council of valuing and protecting Mosman's historical and cultural flavour.

Why Mosman Matters
Some facts
It's unique in so many ways; historically, its cultural heritage and natural beauty along with it's village atmosphere and community spirit.
If the proposed amalgamation with Manly and Warringah, for which the government has no mandate, goes ahead, Mosman would no longer be the same Mosman we know and love.
Details of how you can help prevent this happening are found in the previous post.

Mosman residents want to control their future and Keep Mosman Independent!
Mosman would only have 2/10 councillors on the amalgamated mega-Council. We would be outvoted on all Mosman issues
Mosman would lose its sense of heritage, local community, and volunteer spirit
Mosman would lose control over development applications and planning
Mosman would suffer over-development and increased traffic flow
Mosman would suffer increased council rates and lose control over spending
