Wednesday, November 10, 2010, front page of the local Westside News has a photograph of Mr Kerry Gallagher Toowong RSL Sub Branch President seated in front of the ANZAC PARK sign at the park. The article on page 6 quotes Mr Gallagher as saying that there has to be better ways of accommodating workers. "It degrades the significance of the Anzac name."
The article goes on to quote Toowong resident Arthur Palmer, "Members of fallen soldiers' families have scattered the ashes of their loved ones in that park, and this plan from council is a show of contempt for the sacrifices they've made." He said the plan was utterly offensive and a complete desecration of sacred memorial ground.
Help save ANZAC Park Toowong from becoming a construction workforce car park for Brisbane City Council's 'Legacy Way'. In October 2010 BCC proposed the site. On 10 December 2010 we filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland an application for an injunction. On 16 December 2010 the 'Coordinator-General's Change Report' refused the proposal for the car park. In February 2011 BCC returned with two options to destroy the park-ANZAC Park North and the Dog off-leash area. On 5 April 2011...SAVED!
