CONDOLENCE MOTIONS ITEM NO: COND 01 SUBJECT: Barney Allam OAM MOTION OF: Mayor Ned Mannoun DATE: 28 August 2024 With sadness I acknowledge the passing of a distinguished member of our community, Mr. Barney Allam OAM, Founder and Managing Director of Allam Property Group. Mr. Allam passed away on Sunday, 4 August, following a brief illness. He leaves behind a profound legacy and is survived by his four children and four grandchildren. Barney Allam was a remarkable figure in the property development industry and a true community leader. Born in Pakistan and moving to Australia at a young age, Barney's story is one of inspiration and achievement. In 1991, Barney founded the Allam Property Group, which quickly grew to become one of Sydney's top builders. Under his leadership, the company achieved remarkable success, with more than $3 billion in sales and the delivery of over 40 master-planned communities across New South Wales and Victoria. His connection with the Liverpool community is particularly noteworthy. In 2002, Allam Property Group undertook its first development in the Liverpool LGA, known as the Pavilions in Prestons. This project was a testament to Barney's vision and values, winning the UDIA award for Best Medium Density Project. Over the years, Allam Property Group has developed over 500 lots within the Liverpool LGA and currently has four active projects in the area. The relationship between Allam Property Group and Liverpool City Council has been one built on trust and cooperation, a relationship that Barney Allam held in high regard. His work here has left a lasting impact, not only through the physical developments but through the sense of community they fostered. His contributions to the community extended beyond his professional achievements, with his involvement in the Wesley Mission and various philanthropic efforts earning him the Order of Australia Medal in 2004. On behalf of the Liverpool community, I extend our deepest condolences to Barney's family, friends, and colleagues. May his memory be a blessing, and may his vision and values continue to shape our community for years to come. ITEM NO: COND 02 SUBJECT: Mr Allen Bull MOTION OF: Mayor Ned Mannoun DATE: 28 August 2024 I express the sorrow of the Liverpool community at the passing of Mr. Allen Bull on 26 July, the day the Paris Olympics opened. Allen Bull was a remarkable figure in the world of diving, both on a national and international level. His outstanding contributions as a coach, mentor, judge, and referee were recognized when Diving NSW awarded him life membership in 2012. Allen's influence reached far beyond the diving community. He trained divers from across New South Wales and was a beloved figure in Lightning Ridge, where he made significant contributions. However, his roots were firmly planted in Liverpool, where he was born, raised, and educated at Liverpool Public School. He started his career in our community, embodying the values of dedication and service that Liverpool holds dear. Allen was also deeply committed to the Liverpool Rotary Club, where he held various leadership roles, including President. His passion for youth development was evident in his active involvement with RYPEN, Rotary's youth enrichment program. He tirelessly supported numerous charitable causes, often alongside his good friend, the late Harry Hunt, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to making a difference. The loss of Allen Bull is a profound one for our community, the diving world, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. On behalf of the Liverpool community, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Allen's family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. His legacy of service and dedication will continue to inspire us, and he will be greatly missed. COUNCIL DECISION Motion: Moved: Mayor Mannoun Seconded: Clr Macnaught That Council move the condolences for Barney Allam OAM and Allen Bull. One minute silence was then observed for Barney Allam OAM and Allen Bull. On being put to the meeting the motion was declared CARRIED. Clr Karnib was an apology for this meeting.
