Join us for the Special Meeting of Electors to be held on Tuesday, 23 June 2026 commencing at 6:00pm in the Kambarang (Conference Room) at the Melville Civic Centre, 10 Almondbury Road, Booragoon.

The request for Special Meeting of Electors, signed by 410 electors, will be held for the purpose of considering the John Connell Cricket Pitch Project, including the following matters: 

• The proposed clearing of approximately 209 mature native trees and 0.68 hectares of remnant native vegetation at John Connell Reserve.
• The absence of a clearly demonstrated strategic need for the proposed cricket pitch expansion.
• Reliance on potentially outdated cost estimates and the absence of secured external funding.
• Potential financial impacts on future rates, borrowings and capital works priorities.
• Insufficient assessment of alternative options that may avoid or substantially reduce environmental impacts.
• Concerns regarding governance processes, transparency and evidence-based decision making.
