ANGRY Brimbank residents say they have not been given a fair chance to voice their concerns about Brimbank Council's proposal to sell off open spaces.

About 50 residents stormed out of a council meeting at Keilor Bowls Club on July 19, frustrated at not being allowed to table questions at the meeting.

The council has earmarked 14 sites which could be sold to fund its multimillion-dollar parks upgrade plan. The spaces range in size from 624-7961 square metres.

Our Parks Not For Sale committee chairwoman Virginia Tachos said she wanted the council to hold an open forum for residents to discuss their concerns.

"There has been a complete lack of consultation on this issue and I don't feel council has provided a proper forum to discuss the process of potential land sales," she said.

"Council sent out letters to only 700 residents about the potential sale, which shows a complete lack of communication."

Council general manager for infrastructure and environment Paul Younis said last week's meeting was not a forum for discussion.

He said some questions lodged via the council's website had not been received due to technical difficulties, which had now been resolved.

"We urge people with questions that may not have been heard to lodge them as submissions to council."

Mr Younis stressed the council had not decided to sell the parcels of land and was merely asking for feedback from groups and individuals on how the spaces were being used by the community.

"Any person may make a written submission and it must be addressed to the chief executive officer and be received by 5pm on August 8," Mr Younis said.

Ms Tachos said countless residents used the open spaces for recreational purposes.

"In Brimbank we have high rates of people with type2 diabetes and weight issues, so that will only get worse if we don't have anywhere to exercise," she said.

"Selling off the spaces will decrease the value of our neighbourhoods and residents will no longer have spaces to meet and connect."

About 100 residents attended a community barbecue at one of the open spaces in Nordic Avenue, Keilor Lodge, on July 16 to increase awareness of the council's proposal to sell the land.

Speaking at the gathering, resident Graeme Elkington said many local children used the open space to play sport. "Many local residents have planted trees here and take pride in the land," he said.

Residents will host a community picnic and tree-planting day at Cohuna Park on Sunday.
