Hands Off Lambert Park: Say No to Overdevelopment and Save Our Sporting Home
Behind Lambert Park – the spiritual home of APIA Leichhardt FC for over 70 years – sits 10,000sqm of land, zoned as light industrial.
Developers want to build three 8-storey residential towers there. Over 220 units. One of the towers overlooks the warm up area at Lambert Park, sitting on the boundary
of this tiny but extremely valuable community public parcel of land, where teams warm up.
Imagine: a Saturday morning, kids preparing to play, and a resident shouting from a 4th floor balcony to keep the noise down.. This proposal is completely incompatible with a community sporting venue.
Floodlights, cheering crowds, referee whistles: this is what makes football special. But to nearby residents, it will become a nuisance. And the pressure will mount to shut us down.
We’ve seen this before: Luna Park. The Italian Forum. Don’t let history repeat itself.
Join us at Lambert Park. Stand with APIA. Say NO to overdevelopment.
