A group of thirteen women from Hunters Hill. dubbed the 'Battlers for Kelly's Bush' requested the assistance of the Builders Labourers' Federation - BLF to prevent construction work by A.V. Jennings on the last remaining area of native bushland on the foreshore of the Parramatta River. The BLF applied a Green Ban to the area. The Green Ban at Kelly's Bush demonstrated that concern for the preservation of the environment affected all classes in society.

The women's group worked with the Hunter's Hill Trust, and gradually received the support of many organisations including: 

National Trust of Aust. N.S.W.
Australian Conservation Foundation
National Parks & Wildlife Service
Civic Design Society of N.S.W.
Royal Institute of Architects
Citizens Resident Action Group
Youth Groups and Student Bodies.
