Save our Public Land from Investors

Save our public land, lot 223 and 223A, on the corner of Main and Hutton Streets, Osborne Park, from investors and developers, and create a Town Square (Piazza) for our community. After surveys and public consultation it was in favour that a large open public place was to be created where people can come together, filled with trees, bench seats, water fountains & local art. Where we can meet and greet, where we can take a stroll and just ‘be’, where our seniors, elders, teens and children can enjoy interacting, where we can hold events and festivals, where local artists can create pieces that reflect the market garden and multicultural history and culture of Osborne Park and surrounding suburbs. Piazzas encourage people to venture out and escape the loneliness they may feel staying home. They are an essential part of our wellbeing and unite our communities. Some people can’t afford to eat out but a piazza encourages social interaction without the cost and builds a healthier and less isolated community. It doesn’t have to be full of people every day, all day. It just has to be a piece of the community we can keep as ours and can call ‘ours’. We need to prioritise people and their wellbeing, not put profit over the people. This land is the jewel in the crown for our people. It unites the North and South of Main Street. It is what every other precinct dreams of creating but lack space to create it. It is the heart of our Town Centre, and we want it to become the ‘heartbeat’ that will bring our community back to life. PLEASE help us save our land from the big investors.
