State Election 2018 - question 4 - Stopping the shrinkage

 

The Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Association is campaigning for an amendment to the Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005 so that:

“Despite the provisions of any other Act, no additional alienation of the Park Lands may be undertaken unless a previously-alienated site of equivalent or greater size is returned to Park Lands." 

  • If you are elected, would you move a Bill containing such an amendment? 

  • Would you support such an amendment in a Bill moved by another member of Parliament?
