HMSS 0112 Reid Progress Association, 1944-1950. |
The action of the Save Glebe Park Committee from early 1982, together with support from the wider community and heritage organisations resulted in Glebe Park being saved from the proposed Tivoli Gardens development which was connected with the White Industries project in Civic.
Most of the trees were saved and Glebe Park was subsequently gazetted as a park and developed sympathetically along the lines of an English-style park.
These papers were collected and created by Denis Wilson, a former President of the Reid Residents' Association and Chair of the Save Glebe Park Committee.
Donated by the Reid Residents Association, May 2002.
Further information may be found in Grey, John. The Glebe Park Story : the evolution of Canberra's main inner city park from Canberry glebe, 1989.
