The Millers Point context is strengthened by the contribution of the local community, which is firmly committed to the preservation of the suburb’s unique character and sponsored the heritage listing nomination to ensure the protection of Millers Point. The area is held in deep affection by the residents, many of whom have family connections that can be traced through proceeding generations of the Millers Point population, and/or have links to maritime industries. The historic, social and physical fabric of Millers Point cannot therefore be considered as separate components, but rather as interwoven traits making up the precinct so that an unusually high and rare degree of social significance can be ascribed to this area.
It is a living community with clearly discernible links to the maritime industries that formed the village's core from the early part of the nineteenth century, and one that has long-term memories of the precinct's fabric and relevance. The gentrification of an area comes at the cost of removing families from homes and individuals from areas which they were born into and their families have lived for generations. Bubonic plague broke out there at the turn of the 20th century, and many buildings were demolished. More were knocked down to accommodate the Harbour Bridge. In the 1970s the Askin government tried to demolish all housing in the area, only to be stopped by a determined community and green bans imposed by the Builders Labourers Federation.
Sydney's waterfront should not simply be for those who can afford multi-million dollar apartments. Suburbs such as Millers Point are communities made up of residents who have existed there for generations. Forced removal will destroy this community and cause distress to the current residents. Residents on welfare and pensioners are as entitled to inner city housing as any other citizen.
Our communities are invaluable no matter where they are located. And we should fight to preserve them. Not destroy them for yet another soulless, generic development. Millers Point is irreplaceable.
