Save Victoria Park

Save Victoria Park is an advocacy group established in 2020 to protect Victoria Park Barrambin from development after the end of a golf course lease over part of the park. They contend free open parkland is vital for the future of the city and support elders who have stepped forward as custodians to protect it. They have a petition, promote awareness, provide research and raise funds for the legal process to protect the park.
