To get onto the platform at Berala Station residents have to climb 33 steps. That might sound easy if you are fit, healthy and not loaded down with luggage. But if you are a mother with a pram, or elderly it is a big challenge. If you need a weelchair for your mobility then it means that you are denied access to rail transport. Battler supporters have taken up the campaign for a lift at Berala Railway station.

Why have residents in Amy Street recently found traffic noise almost unbearable? A conversation with a resident from Larcombe Street might provide some of the answers. What we are now convinced of – a new bridge over the railway line isn’t the answer. In fact a new bridge will just funnel more traffic through Regents Park. What we need is less outside traffic and certainly less heavy goods vehicles.

Berala has had a tough time in the last five years – our shops were knocked down by a developer (with the backing of Labor, Liberal, Unity and Green councillors). And then this developer goes bust and we have a hole in the ground instead of a supermarket for five years. So at last it really is time for some good news. And then… sorry… a reality check. We still have a horrible bunch of Councillors running the show in Auburn and they have decided on delivering us some bad news…

Resident’s with dog’s are concerned about the dreadful lack of parks where dogs can run off lead in Auburn. For a dog this is extremely important – and its not just the exercise, it is the chance to be with and around other dogs. Put simply a dog learns to become a dog by mixing with other dogs – it’s where they learn their place in the pack. Other Councils – notably Strathfield understand this and provide great facilities. In Auburn, even though we have great parks our dog’s are terribly short-changed.

Local residents have really stepped up the fight against the State Liberal Government’s decision to send radioactive waste to our suburb. Massive signs are appearing at major road junctions and garden placards are being displayed in Botanica, Regents Park and Berala. One Botanica resident tried to get a garden placard from the developer Australand – they don’t have them, if you want a placard just call the Battler on 0451 635 924 and we’ll bring one over!!
