Workforce Parking Consultation Group with BCC

Friends of ANZAC Park Toowong will have 4 representatives attending the Workforce Parking Consultation Group on behalf of supporters on Thursday 24 February with BCC Legacy Way. Other community groups and representatives will also attend. The purpose of the session is to explore each of the options for the workforce car parking plan with the options being put to the community to comment on in the following weeks. We have suggested some realistic and respectful options and so have others. The Coordinator-General advised BCC to fully explore all other options before the ANZAC Park site can even be reconsidered. BCC disagree with the advice given to them in the Coordinator-General's Change Report and have told us that they were told by the Coordinator-General that they can look at the ANZAC Park site again. They want the ANZAC Park site, there is not doubt about that.

The letter sent to the community this week has misled the community into thinking that the ANZAC Park site is out of the question. It is not. We have already been advised by BCC that the ANZAC Park site will be mentioned as one of the options in a letter to be distributed to the community from Friday advising of the upcoming Community Consultation Sessions from 1 - 11 March. Locations and times are still to be confirmed. At these Community Consultation Sessions you will have the opportunity to give BCC feedback, by feedback form, by email and verbally. We will let you know more about these upcoming Community Consultation Sessions soon.

We will do whatever if takes to stop the desecration of this memorial ANZAC ground.
