The BCC Legacy Way Spinner throws again!Today we have been advised that BCC Legacy Way now have their list of sites for the construction workforce car park site. We know that ANZAC Park is on that list of options which means they want to try again to get approval to destroy our heritage listed public park. We will find out what all the sites under consideration are next week.
BCC Legacy Way were advised by the Coordinator-General when their first proposal was refused in December 2010 that they must consult with the public on their parking plan.
They will now consult with the public and will be conducting Community Consultation Sessions in the coming weeks. At these sessions members of the community will be invited to gain more information and provide their feedback on the workforce parking options directly to the consultation team. We will let you know when and so will BCC Legacy Way.
BCC Legacy Way will then submit a further Application for evaluation of environmental effects of proposed change in March 2011 to the Coordinator-General with their proposal to attempt to satisfy the imposed condition for off-street workforce car parking for the tunnel project. This will be evaluated by the Coordinator-General - allowed or refused.
Whether the ANZAC Park site makes it into that Application for evaluation of environmental effects of proposed change is another matter! If it does we will have another opportunity to write submissions to the Coordinator-General objecting to the destruction of our park.
However BCC Legacy way were advised to fully explore other options before they can even reconsider the ANZAC Park site. We believe there are other options which will satisfy the imposed condition and will again fight to save our park.
Two-up was played extensively by Australian soldiers in World War 1- Two heads the Spinner wins, Two tails the Spinner loses, Odds the Spinner throws again. "Come on Spinner!" Friends of ANZAC Park see two tails hitting the ground. Time to place your bets!
keep us posted good people. And get ready for divide-and-conquer tactics - their next step will be to use the consultation to try to set community against community. We will need to build communication quickly and work towards a solution that benefits all neighbourhoods...
ReplyDeleteTime to place my bet? I bet Campbell Newman is not the Mayor of Brisbane after March 2012. I bet he sends Brisbane broke.
