ABOUT US
Save West Bondi Junction is a group of local residents
from the West Oxford Street Precinct and surrounds.
We are apolitical. We come from all age groups and
different socio-economic backgrounds. Some of us
have been here for ages and some are new.
Save West Bondi Junction Residents Group is not
against development, we simply want
development to be in line with the existing
Waverley Council 2012 LEP. We also support the
retention of historic homes in the area between
Oxford Street and Grafton Street.
