We will be taking a break to prepare for Festival of the Photocopier 2018 and work out what the hell we’re going to do if our shop gets demolished.
Sticky will open for 2018 at midday on Wednesday 24 January.
15 December 2017 Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback to MetroTunnel regarding the proposed changes to Campbell Arcade that would involve the demolition of Sticky. We understand the survey had over 1,500 responses!
There are still things you can do to help protest the development plans. Ellen Sandell MP has created this petition asking Labor’s Planning Minister Richard Wynne to consider the impact of the planned tunnel on Melbourne’s heritage.
