The Haberfield Association has been a major influence in the community since its inception. Here are a few of its recent achievements.

• The Association was heavily involved when the cable carriers Foxtel and Optus were installing overhead cabling in other suburbs. The Association conducted a successful campaign to ensure that no overhead cable were installed in the suburb.



• Ashfield Council raised the prospect of dual occupancy in Haberfield. The association has always opposed it. The Association made submissions as a whole, as well as individually, to Ashfield Council. Because of these submissions, Council agreed not to permit dual occupancy in Haberfield.



• Australia Post planned to close the historic post office building. The work of the Haberfield Association ensured that it stayed as a post office and that its integrity was preserved.



• Along major bus routes, the Association lobbied the council to install bus shelters and plant trees to allow shade for people waiting for buses.



• Walk'N'Talk tour for Heritage Week 1997. This was a tour of the Haberfield suburb explaining its heritage significance.
