Dear Councillor Magub,

I am writing to urge your approval of the proposed use of the Auchenflower park adjacent to the Wesley Hospital campus. Members of the Wesley Hydrotherapy community propose this site as an alternate location for the Hydrotherapy pool currently within the Wesley campus that will be closing down in July.

I recognize that you have concerns regarding the provision of parks and “green space” for your constituents, however, the proposed pool would only use a small percentage of the park but have an enormous benefit for a large number of people from Brisbane and the entire South-East Queensland.

Hydrotherapy has unique therapeutic benefits for members of society who are often overlooked in existing health treatment services: people who cannot walk on land can exercise safely; children confined to wheelchairs and dependence experience freedom of movement; the immobile, dependant and marginalized members of the disabled community can safely improve muscle tone, motor skills and cardiovascular health.

Your consent to the building of a hydrotherapy pool on the proposed site would show that you value marginalized members of society, that you stand for improved health services that are not solely assessed on their financial merits and that you are striving towards a better Auchenflower, Brisbane and State.I urge you to act.

Sincerely,







Name:
