AN athletics field that produced a two-time national champion and dual Olympian along with a range of local sporting heroes could be bulldozed for a car park after a service club proposal goes under government planning consideration.
The development application in Kambah was submitted to build nearly 100 car park spaces directly on the land run by Tuggeranong Little Athletics.
The proposal would wipe away around 25 per cent of the oval that stages three shot-put rings, a long jump and triple jump sand pits while losing some trees and green space.
The Little Aths association plans on submitting a response to the ACT’s planning authority to block the Burns Club’s submission prior to its deadline on Monday (May 17) after failing to reach an agreement amid negotiations that have run for close to two years.
