The petition of the undersigned shows that:

They believe that:

 The greenspaces within the suburb of Curtin are an essential part of the character of Curtin, and the playing fields to the east of the old North Curtin Primary School buildings are an essential part of the greenspace running north-south through the centre of the suburb.

They are concerned that:

By Mr Connolly (from 106 residents).

Petitions received.
