"The people have won the battle for the Macquarie Ice Rink in Sydney's north-western suburbs.

After a community outcry that included petitions signed by more than 60,000 protesters, AMP Capital has announced that a planned redevelopment of the Macquarie Centre will continue to have an Olympic-sized rink."

**On a personal note, thank you to anyone who signed the various petitions. I really hope that this rink will continue to raise Ice Sports Champions in Australia in Figure, Short Track Speed, Hockey and more.

I was just thinking about this the other day and wondering how it was going. I have had a horrible morning so it is extra-nice to hear some good news!!!

More Power to the People :)

Perhaps the heat wave made more people vote for keeping the coldest place in Sydney open ;-)

That's amazing! It must cost a fortune to maintain an ice rink in such a hot country. Well done, Aussies!

I am so glad your rink was saved. I am still pissed that our rink was converted into a roller derby rink for the late spring and summer months.... lack of funding and interest in figure skating is sad.
