A detention basin is also planned for the Ballin Drive Park, this one being 40  mega litres and the loss of up to one hundred trees. Some of the trees at Ballin Drive are very historical to Toowoomba, but the bulldozer awaits them if council gets their way.
Our groups have now joined together and call ourselves The East Creek Park Defenders. We are passionate in the defence of our parks.  This Sunday the 1 June we are holding a protest march to show our strong objection to councils hideous proposals. These detention basins WILL NOT stop a flood as happened in 2011.
The march starts at Ballin Drive at 8.45am then proceeds to Garnet Lehmann Park to meet other marchers. At 9.30am we will leave Garnet Lehmann Park and march to World Environment Day at Lake Annand.
Please join us this Sunday the 1st of June and help us protect our beautiful parks.  Â
