Thank you for hosting a Save Victoria Park yard sign!
Barrambin/Victoria Park is a sprawling 64-hectare green oasis in the heart of Brisbane, known as “windy place” in Turrbal language. As Brisbane has expanded, Barrambin has become a beloved backyard for residents of Herston, Spring Hill, Kelvin Grove, Petrie Terrace, Fortitude Valley, and Bowen Hills and serves as a central hub for recreation and community connection.
However, Barrambin has diminished over the past 30 years, losing over half its area to privatisation for roads, busways, and other developments. There is urgent need for the Brisbane City Council and Queensland State Government to protect this essential space for community use. Recently, the local community has had to fight both the LNP Council and ALP State Governments on the proposal for a 55,000-seat Olympic Stadium on this precious greenspace.
We need community members like you to help make it clear that this Barrambin cannot continue to be carved up. By hosting a yard sign, you will make it clear that protecting existing greenspace is your priority.
