The Fight is on
For
Collaroy, Warriewood & Avalon Cinema's
If you’ve driven past our iconic local theatres on the Peninsula this week, you’ve probably felt a heavy knot in your stomach. The devastating news that the Mustaca family have been forced into receivership by their secured lenders isn’t just a complex corporate dispute on a piece of paper.
While the family fights behind the scenes, they’ve brought viable refinancing options to the table that have been knocked back, the immediate reality for us on the ground is terrifying. - more to come shortly.

Subject: URGENT INQUIRY: Protecting Community Spaces and Heritage Assets on the Northern Beaches
Dear [Insert Name of Councillor, Mayor, or State Member of Parliament],
RE: Safeguarding Northern Beaches Community, Cultural, and Heritage Venues
I am writing to you as a resident of the Northern Beaches to express my deep concern regarding the future stability of our local community, cultural, and entertainment spaces. Recent media reports indicating that receivers have been appointed to properties held by prominent local venue operators have raised significant alarm across our community.
Venues like our local independent cinemas and heritage theatres are not merely commercial properties; they serve as the vital cultural backbone of the Northern Beaches. They house our local arts, provide community gathering spaces, foster social connection, and drive our local evening economy. The potential loss or redevelopment of these spaces into private residential blocks would permanently damage the character and cultural identity of our suburbs.
Given the gravity of this situation and its long-term impact on our community, I am formally requesting urgent clarification on the following points:
  1. Heritage and Zoning Protections: What immediate planning and zoning protections are currently active to ensure that iconic cultural and heritage entertainment venues on the Northern Beaches cannot be aggressively redeveloped for high-density private housing?
  1. Local Council Activation: [For Council recipients] What steps is Northern Beaches Council taking to engage with stakeholders, administrators, or receivers to express the community’s unwavering demand that these spaces remain dedicated to cultural and community use?
  1. State Government Intervention: [For State MP recipients] How is the State Government utilizing bodies like Sound NSW, Heritage NSW, or community infrastructure frameworks to safeguard independent cultural venues facing acute economic or refinancing pressures?
  1. Contingency Planning: What contingency strategies are in place to ensure that if these critical cultural assets change hands, their usage covenants remain legally protected for arts, entertainment, and public benefit?
Our community has shown time and again that we deeply value and actively support local independent entertainment, live performance, and heritage preservation. We look to our elected representatives to act as the front-line shield against the permanent erosion of our public and cultural spaces.
I look forward to your prompt response detailing the concrete actions being taken at a local and state level to protect the cultural future of the Northern Beaches.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

Tips for the Community
  • Keep it Targeted: send this directly to the Mayor, specific Ward Councillors, and State MP

  • The Power of Volume: In government offices, identical letters are tallied. If a representative receives 50 to 100 individual copies of this letter from verified local addresses, it triggers a internal briefing.
