We have a strong focused community here in Ipswich. A community that strive to encourage our young families and individuals to be proud of their community and the values people instill in our growing population. 

The time is well over due to rename the Paul Pisasale Bridge to Ashleigh Barty Bridge. An Indigenous woman, a sporting legend, a woman of character who is proud to call this community her hometown. We are all so proud of Ash and acknowledge the values and successes through triumph and the low times where Ash's character was tested and shone through maintaining her strength and values and always commending the support of her team family and fans.

Our local legend has been able to bring to us pride and joy through these really challenging times. Genuinely authentic human being who has been reported to saying I have always lived in the area and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. 

In closing of this petition I just want to mention that smile. Could we really rename the Bridge to anything else!
