As reported in our last update, NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes has asked his department to investigate sustainable alternatives to synthetic grass amid growing concerns about its environmental and health impacts. 

Community groups, including those in Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove and Bayside local government areas, are protesting against council moves across Sydney to replace old grass ovals with synthetic playing fields.

On Friday 9th April, we're meeting with Ku-ring-gai Mayor Jennifer Anderson to discuss these concerns. Our petition will also be presented at an upcoming council meeting.

We need your continuing support to let our council know that residents are concerned about the proposed development. Please forward this petition to your friends and colleagues.
