"As an ex-serviceman I get increasingly annoyed with the lip service some organisations show to our servicemen who served, and also paid the supreme sacrifice. Too often war memorials all over the place have been moved because it was not convenient for roads, and far too often trees planted to venerate memories have been removed at bureaucratic whim. The latest desecration is to allow the hallowed ground of Toowong Anzac Park to be used as a car park. A war memorial has its place in the community all year round. We should take care to heed the call of Lest We Forget...because by its behaviour the Brisbane City Council has!" JM Barnett.

Help save ANZAC Park Toowong from becoming a construction workforce car park for Brisbane City Council's 'Legacy Way'. In October 2010 BCC proposed the site. On 10 December 2010 we filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland an application for an injunction. On 16 December 2010 the 'Coordinator-General's Change Report' refused the proposal for the car park. In February 2011 BCC returned with two options to destroy the park-ANZAC Park North and the Dog off-leash area. On 5 April 2011...SAVED!
