A new public pool, park and library for Woolloongabba

The Woolloongabba Cross River Rail site is a huge 5+ hectare piece of public land, right in the heart of a fast growing neighbourhood.

Without sustained community pressure, the state Labor government could potentially open large sections of it up to private developers, like they have done at the Roma Street site. It’s crucial that this important site stays in public hands for public good.

Currently, the plans for this site include hectares of concrete walkways for Olympics tourists. But now that the government’s ludicrous plans for the Gabba Stadium rebuild have been shelved, the government needs to focus first and foremost on what the local community needs – not what’s needed for the Olympics.

The Greens think this 5+ hectares of public land should be used for:

A large beautiful new public park, with shade, seating and a playground
A new public swimming pool and water play area
A library for Woolloongabba and other community facilities
Hundreds of new homes that people can actually afford, built by the government

Sign the petition to call on Labor to keep this site in public hands and implement a community vision for this site.

Will you sign?

We call on the Labor state government to keep the Woolloongabba Cross River Rail site in public hands, and use it for: a big new park, a public swimming pool, library and hundreds of new homes that people can actually afford, built by the government.

We also urge you to conduct genuine community consultation to ensure residents have a real say over the future of this massive piece of public land.
