MEDIA: WESTSIDE NEWS, page 8, Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 'Parks must be protected'

“THE BCC seemed to have overestimated their position for using parklands for construction purposes. The BCC do not own public spaces, these are owned by the City of Brisbane, i.e. the community. The BCC are nothing more than the management arm. If they wish to construct a commercial venture then they must do what they would expect any other commercial entity to do. Find suitable premises in an area zoned for light commercial, and submit their plans for approval. Parks are not zoned for any commercial development, and to do so would breach the council’s own dictates. Rob Waller, Kenmore.”

Thank Rob and all others who have written in to the media regarding Save ANZAC Park and Save ADA Park.
