The Wahroonga Conservation Group was formed in December 2000. The group formed initially in response to the proposed redevelopment of the historic Craignairn site on the corner of Cleveland Street and Burns Road. The overwhelming response to an initial letterbox drop made it apparent that a Group with a broader focus was required to address community concerns over new medium density developments. Large sections of Wahroonga are characterised by large single dwelling sites, many of which are heritage listed. The result is a suburb with distinct character and historic importance. In recent times the large parcels of land have been targeted by developers seeking to build medium density housing. This often masquerades as SEPP5 (now Senior Living SEPP), old persons, development. These developments are threatening to destroy the unique character of our suburb and the Wahroonga Conservation Group is dedicated to opposing such unsuitable development and to maintaining the unique character of our suburb.
