Save Victoria Barracks

Campaign to Save Victoria Barracks

Victoria Barracks, Sydney is not surplus land or a disposable asset. Established in the 1840s, it is one of Australia’s most significant military and heritage sites, built by convict labour from local sandstone and continuously used for nearly two centuries as a centre of military leadership, administration, and national service.

I therefore call on the Federal Government to halt the proposed sale and commit to keeping Victoria Barracks, Sydney in public ownership, and for the Government to work with local communities, veterans’ organisations, historians, and heritage experts to develop a long-term stewardship model that protects the site and enhances its public value.
