The open space next to Stirling City Council

This is a large grassed area located next to the council building and the Mitchell Freeway, and a potential subject. Since 2002 (see the screenshots from Google Earth below), the development of the council site has progressively encroached into the area, and recently construction fences and tractors have appeared around the southern end. Going by the satellite imagery, it has largely been left relatively unmaintained and is used by residents as an informal recreational reserve, giving it a certain importance in the context of vernacular spaces and paths, and I would like to document it before it is demolished by the city council.
