Be a Lungs Lifeguard!

Swimming is good for your lungs. Mature established trees are also good for your lungs. But the State Government won’t let you have both.

Premier Peter Malinauskas and Lucy Hood want to chop down dozens of trees in your Park Lands.

Come to your Park 2 on Sunday 12 November, at 1pm, to be a “lungs lifeguard”.

Almost 8,000 people have signed a petition to the Premier, to "Save These Trees - Choose a Brownfield Site for a new Aquatic Centre."

Thousands more people simply want the current Aquatic Centre to remain open while a new one is being constructed, as the Government once promised.

But the Government is not listening. They're pushing ahead, intending to break another promise to protect your trees.

Contrary to Government claims, their promised new two-storey megalith Aquatic and Commercial Centre would take up even more of your Park Lands than the current centre.

Come to Denise Norton Park / Pardipardinyilla (Park 2) (behind the Aquatic Centre) on Sunday 12 November, at 1pm.

Wear or carry swimming gear, or a life jacket or goggles.

Show the Government that you want the best for your lungs:

• BOTH a new Aquatic Centre on a different, convenient near-city brownfield site; AND
• A RESTORED Park, with a fresh three hectares of Open Green Public space to replace the current Aquatic Centre, but only after the new one is open.

Bring a hand-made sign, to show there's a better way - a win-win scenario.

Urge the Premier to LISTEN.

Be a LUNGS LIFEGUARD for a new Aquatic Centre and a new (restored) three hectares of your Park Lands.
