Facebook Twitter by Elizabeth Handley Ask your local politician how many bills they voted on that they have actually read and understood. It is an important question when you consider the workload of most politicians, the political donations. As recorded in an article in the Saturday paper where Gillian Trigg was interviewed by Romana Koval […]

by Elizabeth Handley Politicians have a distorted moral compass on political donations. In paying tribute to Ian Macfarlane who exterminated Labor’s Mining Tax, Tony Abbott said: It was a magnificent achievement by the [member] for Groom in his time as minister … and I hope the sector will acknowledge and demonstrate their gratitude to him […]

by Elizabeth Handley The public’s perception that a process is corrupt is as corrosive as if it is a proven fact. Approvalsare being regularly given for developments that do not remotely comply with the publicly advertised town planning rules.

About Park It

Park IT (Park in Toowong Community Group) is a local community group fighting to create a park on the last river side site available in Toowong.

The old ABC site is 15,000 square meters, flood prone with a river frontage of approximately 130 metres.  It is the ideal site for a river side park.

The community has been lobbying for many years for this parkland.  They were encouraged to believe that the Brisbane City Council and the State Government were working towards that goal.  By keeping up community pressure we can still achieve a wonderful park to be enjoyed for many generations to come.
