How we operate
Our association is managed by a Council of up to seven members, elected at our Annual General Meetings, comprising a President and up to six Vice-Presidents. We have an office in the South Melbourne Town Hall which is temporarily closed due to building reconstruction. Council meetings have been disrupted by the COVID pandemic, but decisions are still being made.
What we do
We carry out detailed research on all aspects of the motor racing conducted in Albert Park Reserve (in particular, Formula 1) and record relevant facts. We publish the facts in leaflets, media releases, newsletters, and letters/emails to government departments. We establish relationships and share information with like-minded organisations in other states. We operate a Park Volunteer Group which conducts a weekly work party in Albert Park Reserve.
Save Albert Park is a self-funded, non-party political, not-for-profit incorporated association, with membership open to all people with an interest in the protection of parkland.
Our purpose
Our purpose is to work towards the total and permanent termination of motor racing in Albert Park Reserve, the restoration of the park as open space and parkland, and to protect the park from inappropriate development.

This and subsequent updates in the next decade by economist Rod Campbell remain the only accurate economic assessments of the event.
