Subject: Complaint Regarding Public Access to Macgregor Netball Court and Staff Conduct
Dear Brisbane City Council,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the management of the public netball court in
Macgregor, Queensland, and the unacceptable conduct of a council representative during an incident
on Sunday, [insert specific date, e.g., 15 June 2025]. As a resident of Macgregor, I am deeply con
cerned about the restrictions imposed on childrens access to this public facility, the aggressive attitude
displayed by council staff, and the broader lack of recreational spaces for children in our community.
Below, I outline the specific issues and request immediate action to address them.
1. Public Access to the Netball Court
The netball court in Macgregor is a public facility, funded by taxpayers, including residents of this
suburb who pay land tax and income tax. It is unacceptable that local children are prohibited from
using this court, particularly on weekends when no formal activities are scheduled. On Sunday, [insert
date], my children and others were prevented from playing on the court despite no visible events
taking place. Public spaces like this should be accessible to the community, especially for childrens
recreational activities, when not in use for organized events.
2. Access After Scheduled Activities
I understand that the court may be reserved for netball or other organized activities on Saturdays.
However, there is no justification for restricting access on Sundays or after scheduled events con
clude. If the court is booked for specific times, the council should ensure it is opened to the public
immediately afterward to maximize community use. Clear signage or a public schedule indicating
available times would help avoid confusion and ensure fair access.
3. Unacceptable Attitude and Threats by Council Staff
During the incident on [insert date], a council representative approached us in an aggressive and
intimidating manner, stating that children were not allowed to play on the court. The representatives
attitude was extremely poor, and they escalated the situation by threatening a $1,000 fine for our use
of the public facility. This behavior is unacceptable, particularly when directed at families and young
children. Threatening residents with exorbitant fines for using a public space is not only inappropriate
but also undermines community trust in the council.
4. Lack of Recreational Spaces for Children
Macgregor has limited recreational facilities for children, and the netball court is one of the few safe
spaces available for outdoor play. The councils decision to restrict access exacerbates this issue,
leaving families with few options for weekend activities. As ratepayers, we expect the council to
1
prioritize the needs of children by maintaining and expanding recreational spaces. I urge the council
to consider investing in additional play areas or upgrading existing facilities to meet the communitys
needs.
5. Intimidation of Families and Children
The council representatives threatening behavior was particularly distressing as it occurred in the
presence of young children. As residents who contribute to the community through taxes, we have
a right to enjoy public spaces without fear of intimidation. Weekends are a critical time for families
to spend with children, and being confronted by council staff in this manner is unacceptable. This
incident has left my family feeling unwelcome in our own community.
6. Prioritizing Weekend Access for Children
Public recreational areas, such as the netball court, should be prioritized for community use on week
ends, when families are most likely to engage in outdoor activities. Restricting access without clear
justification or communication undermines the purpose of these facilities. The council must adopt a
more inclusive approach to ensure that children and families can safely enjoy public spaces during
non-event times.
I respectfully request that Brisbane City Council take the following actions:
• Investigate the incident on [insert date] and address the conduct of the council representative
involved.
• Review and revise policies to ensure the netball court is accessible to the public, particularly
children, when not in use for scheduled activities.
• Provide clear communication (e.g., signage or online schedules) about when the court is avail
able for public use.
• Invest in additional recreational facilities in Macgregor to address the shortage of play areas for
children.
• Ensure council staff are trained to interact with residents in a professional and respectful man
ner, avoiding threats or intimidation.
I expect a written response within 20 working days, as per the councils stated process for handling
complaints. If this matter is not addressed satisfactorily, I will escalate the issue by contacting local
media outlets and sharing my experience on social media platforms to raise awareness. I have copied
this letter to Jim Chalmers, Federal Member for Moreton, and Joan Pease, State Member for Toohey,
to ensure they are aware of the concerns affecting their constituents.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of
these issues.
Yours sincerely,
Your Full Name
Macgregor Resident |
