Save Batten Reserve

In response to the highly flawed Lane Cove Bushfire Accessibility Report which has been slammed by Council, LCC have issued a poster which has started appearing throughout the suburb.

The SBCRA are quite simply disgusted by such a recommendation and are doing all we can to ensure no such thing happens.

Download a PDF version of the Poster and post it around your neighbourhood today!
