About Us

Save Thirroul Village is a community advocacy group that was formed to voice the community’s opposition to Thirroul Plaza Pty Ltd’s proposal to redevelop the Thirroul Plaza site. The group was initially called Thirroul Community for a Sustainable Town Centre, but has since adopted the name Save Thirroul Village.

How you can help

DA-2020/363 was submitted without any community consultation. We are looking for fellow community members to help us with our fact-based objection to the proposal.

Nick McLaren Interviews TfNSW about Thirroul Traffic Plans

TfNSW does not seem to make the link between them rejecting their own proposals for clearways and continuous lanes of traffic through Thirroul, sacrificing LHD Street Parking and the Thirroul Plaza DA inflicting exactly the same thing! How can a state government agency abandon their own plans, and then accept a set of plans, equally damaging to the Thirroul town centre, proposed by a private developer with private interests?
