Council moves further to desecrate Anzac Park

Remember the letter that BCC Legacy Way distributed to 14,000 homes back on 16 February which stated that the Coordinator-General had refused, last year, BCC’s proposal to use ANZAC Park as a construction workforce car park for the Legacy Way tunnel project, and BCC were now considering ‘alternative’ sites. HERE

We knew they were reconsidering ANZAC Park, they had already told us they were. We said that the letter would be misleading and asked them to clarify its contents before distributing it. BCC refused and went ahead with the distribution of this misleading letter. The feedback we received from the community was that in fact the community was misled into thinking that ANZAC Park was no longer being considered as a site for the car park.

As you can see Friends of ANZAC Park were right all along in what we told our supporters. Take a look at BCC Legacy Way Newsroom website and see that BCC now have not one but two options on their list to desecrate ANZAC Park HERE

We already knew about their plan to return with Option 5, but it is now bigger and nastier. Option 4, with an new entrance for cars to the park, complete with street lighting, right outside the house BCC knew to be our headquarters, was presented to us at the Workforce Parking Consultation Group last week.

Please help us save Anzac Park, ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men and women do nothing’.

Attend the Workforce Parking Community Consultation Sessions from 8-18 March. See BCC's Newsroom for times and locations HERE
