SELLING VICTORIA BARRACKS : PUBLIC LANDS IN PUBLIC HANDS?

Aired on Thursday 2nd April 2026, 6:00PM

The Sydneyist

The Federal government’s intention to sell Paddington’s beloved Victoria Barracks for $1billion comes with a vast array of questions. How much do we value our own heritage? Our history? What is the importance of community symbolism, when people need houses? Should public lands remain in public hands? Former Major General Fergus McLachlan AO and former Deputy Lord Mayor Cr Zann Maxwell are both passionate on this issue. They join Elizabeth Farrelly on THE SYDNEYIST 6pm #thesydneyist #Paddington #Heritage #UrbanPlanning #Sydney #thesydneyistradioshow #thesydneyist #elizabethfarrelly #thesydneyistpodcast #eastsideradio897
