Update for ‘Save ANZAC Park’ Supporters

At the moment Supporters are waiting for BCC Northern Link ‘Legacy Way’ to get back to us with information on their plans in relation to community consultation regarding their parking plan for the tunnel project. (The Coordinator-General advised them in the Report on Project Changes 2010 that they must undertake community consultation).

We are also waiting for the list of alternative sites, which will not include the ANZAC Park site. (The Coordinator-General advised them in the same report, to 'fully explore all other options' for their parking plan, before the ANZAC Park site can even be reconsidered.)

The Coordinator-General also advised BCC in refusing their first proposal to destroy ANZAC Park “further consideration of alternate locations is required in order to understand if locating parking elsewhere would reduce disturbance to the community while providing a workable solution for the project.” Page 50, Coordinator-General’s Report on Project Changes December 2010 HERE

If the Legacy Way Project is to go ahead we at Friends of ANZAC Park Toowong – ‘Save ANZAC Park’ - support a win-win resolution to this parking matter – car parking sites that will not disturb the community and destroy parks, and which will provide satisfactory off-street car parking for the construction workers.

Remember to visit The Legacy Way Visitors' Information Centre Level 2, 80-88 Jephson Street, Toowong, from Monday 7 February.

Find the (refused) ANZAC Park construction workers' car park proposal in BCC Application for Project Change October 2010 HERE and the (refused) amendment to the proposal in Further Information to Application for Project Change November 2010 HERE
Both refused by the CG December 2010.

  1. Win Win can only mean keeping right out of ANZAC Park Toowong or TRANSCITY's life will be a misery for the next 4 years.
