In October 2020 BCC announced plans to change New Farm Park and introduce more traffic to this green space.

Since then thousands of park lovers have successfully petitioned BCC to revise this plan. Council have now recognised the importance of maintaining green space and a heritage place of importance in Brisbane.

In April 2021, BCC released revised plans in response to community concerns. BCC have committed to :

1. Not create a two way road for cars in the Park.

2. Not increase traffic

3. To only use the proposed new loading zone for park users - not as a transport hub for coaches and ride shares.

Construction is due to start mid year and we will continue to update supporters. BCC have also committed to a Community Visioning Plan for New Farm Park. We will be keeping this petition live so Park Lovers can be part of that conversation. 

Note we DO NOT require donations to promote this petition but it will remain open as the issue progresses.
