We the undersigned believe Ritchies Supermarket Stores P/L (Kyogle IGA) should not demolish the locally significant example of early 1930\'s Art Deco architecture in Kyogle at 27 to 31 Summerland Way (the Lifeline, TURSA and Laundromat building.) It is vital that the Art Deco town of Kyogle maintains it\'s historic buildings. This is what makes our town unique, links us to our past and attracts tourism. HERITAGE CAN\'T BE REPLACED! THE EXISTING BUILDING COULD EASILY BE INCORPORATED INTO A WELL DESIGNED SUPERMARKET COMPLEX! Kyogle Council has been advised by the Heritage Council of NSW that the building is a place of local heritage significance. The township of Kyogle is indicatively listed with the National Trust as a nationally significant town precinct.

The feedback from local business owners confirms this building is essential to the character of our town. I am currently organizing a direct meeting with the planning committee to push for a redesign that keeps our history intact. Call your local council representatives today and insist they prioritize heritage preservation over demolition.

The momentum behind saving our heritage buildings proves that our community will not stand by while our history is demolished. Post this petition link on your Facebook page today and email your local council representatives to demand they protect 27 to 31 Summerland Way.

Ridiculous. We dont need another ugly metal box supermarket replacing real architecture. Fix it up instead of wrecking it.

Our town is special because of these buildings. Why destroy the look of summerland way for an iga? So sad.

Tourists come here for the history not generic shopping centers. This building has so much potential just needs some love.

They act like they own the whole place. There is plenty of room to build elsewhere without tearing down local history.

Keep the character of our town! Once those old buildings are gone you can never get that history back. Leave it alone.
