Residents have been advised this week that private construction is due to begin on the Birdwood Road Park site where our community has been campaigning for the protection of the site and establishment of new parkland.

This has come as a surprise to many, after more than a decade since plans for the development of the site were originally approved by Brisbane City Council.

To help the community understand this news, and discuss our response, I’m organising a snap meeting for Saturday next week on-site.

What: Birdwood Road Park Snap Meeting

When: 3-4pm Saturday 6th May

Where: Meet at Corner of Esher St and Birdwood Road, on the grassy area between the street and the bridge covering Norman Creek

Bring (optional): A chair or blanket to sit on.

Please note our meeting location may change depending on weather and other activity on site. Please RSVP so I can keep you up to date with any updates regarding this event.

We’ll discuss what the development means for the site and what options are available to the community to take from here.
