Why this petition matters

Started by Dean Hurlston

If you are a Waverley Oval user, a local resident, a parent of any De La Salle College student, or a parent of any GSV School, or connected to the use of this oval in ANY way: PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION. 

 

Waverley Oval is a much-loved local Sporting ground and Park.

It is used by De La Salle Amateur Football Club, De La Salle College, Korowa Girls School, GSV and ACC Sport, East Malvern Junior Cricket Club, the German Shepherd Dog School, as an off-lead dog park, and by many local users.

The existing club rooms, change rooms, and parkland amenities are owned by Stonnington Council. The facilities are non-compliant, DDA non-compliant, have no gender-neutral change rooms, are unsafe for oval users, are unclean, unkept, and unacceptable for any community sport.

The facilities need to be inclusive and urgently need new changerooms, toilets, social spaces, and upgraded lighting to make the precinct SAFE and USABLE for sporting users and public use (especially at night).

Our local women, girls, and non-binary persons are unable to utilise the facilities as they should be in 2023. Help us end discrimination in sport.

Stonnington Council, we beg you to masterplan this oval, engage with all users, design new facilities and deliver them ASAP. 

If you are a Waverley Oval user, a local resident, a parent of a De La Salle College student, or any parent of any GSV school, please sign this petition so we can ask the council to make this a safe and inclusive sporting precinct, of an acceptable and compliant standard. 

 

We ask that you lobby state and federal MP's for additional funding support.
