Stafford Bowls Club is a former community sporting club that has been closed and effectively abandoned from 2017, and is therefore in need of a refit. However, similar to other community clubs scattered throughout Brisbane's suburbs, locals are concerned the redevelopment plan places profits over community wellbeing, and are rallying together to have their requests heard by the local government. 4ZZZ journalist Catherine Strohfeldt spoke with several community members, and experts about the unfolding battle for the bowling green.

The e-petition launched by the Stafford community closes Monday February 13th, and can be accessed via the Brisbane City Council e-petitions portal.
