Cultural Heritage expert to attend 'Community Consultation Sessions'

ANZAC Park is listed on the BCC Heritage Register
'Cultural Heritage' is a Term of Reference and must be addressed in the parking plan. The BCC's Cultural Heritage expert will be at the following 'Community Consultation Sessions' to answer your questions as to why BCC believes it can locate a private construction workforce car park within an almost century old heritage listed ANZAC memorial public park, on top of the ashes and urns of our Diggers: Thursday 10 March: 6.30 – 8.30pm, Brisbane Botanic Gardens Auditorium, Mount Coot-tha Road, Toowong; Saturday 12 March: 12 – 3pm Queensland Academy of Science, Mathematics and Technology lecture theatre, Bywong Street, Toowong; Wednesday 16 March: 6.30 – 8.30pm Queensland Academy of Science, Mathematics and Technology lecture theatre, Bywong Street, Toowong.

Good luck getting the answers! We have been trying to get some answers for the past four months!

Note the Cultural Heritage Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) completed for the project states on page 373 - 10.2.3 Construction Access - Any vehicles involved in construction activities must not use Anzac Park as a means of access to the project area nor can it be used for the storage of construction materials. So instead BCC have decided to turn the park into a car park. Don't believe it? Read it for yourself HERE
