It’s now even easier to make a submission
We now have a direct link to the Waterfront revised DA, making it easier than ever to lodge a submission in support of the all-weather field.
You no longer need to search Council’s website or enter the application number. The link takes you directly to the correct page.
Your submission can be super short. Just one or two sentences explaining why you support the revised proposal is enough.
You might mention:
- The need for a reliable all-weather field for local players and the wider community
- The training sessions and matches lost when grass fields close after rain
- The revised design and strengthened flood protections
- The growing number of girls, women and juniors playing football
- The importance of completing the two-field commitment for Callan Park
Most importantly, make your submission personal. Explain briefly why the field matters to you, your family, your team or your school.
Even if you made a submission on the original DA (thank you!), it's important to make a fresh submission supporting the revised proposal. Every supporter should have their say, and each interested member of your household can lodge their own submission.
We need a big increase in positive submissions before they close on 6 October 2026.
Please do it now.
Don’t wait until tomorrow. Don’t assume other people will make this all-weather field happen.
Once you've made a submission on the DA, share this petition with your teammates, friends and other local families. Ask them to sign the petition and make their own submission too.
Together, we can finish the job at Waterfront.
