Meet our new Deputy President: financial adviser Ben Ayris.
When he’s not busy standing up for your parks, you’ll likely find him enjoying the city’s many festivals and cafes or hanging out with his rescue cat…
There is plenty of evidence about:
the importance of protecting mature trees, and any city’s tree canopy;
that South Australians want to see their Adelaide Park Lands protected;
that the international LIV Golf tour is financially unsustainable and on the brink of collapse.
Yet the State Government refuses to see.
Butterfly conservation advocates say a rare Chequered Copper Butterfly colony “will not survive” in Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16) if the State Government goes ahead with plans for a Grand Prix motorcycle circuit alongside its habitat.
No tree in your Adelaide Park Lands is significant enough to be safe from State Government plans to bulldoze Parks for temporary, elite FIFO sports events.
A rally on Saturday 28 February might be your last opportunity to prevent irreversible losses within a massive 90 hectares of your Adelaide Park Lands.
Do you have an umbrella? Do you Love Your Park Lands? If so, we need you on Sunday 4 June, to provide “cover” for the threatened biodiversity of Golden Wattle Park / Mirnu Wirra (Park 21W).
With hundreds of others, use your umbrella to signal to the State Government that there is community “cover” for Park Lands, and that new Police barracks must go on a non-Park Lands site.
The State Government is holding urgent discussions with the Police Commissioner and others to try to head off growing public anger at its proposed massive attack on your Park Lands for new Police barracks.
The Government is feeling the heat, after a 2,000 signature petition arrived at Parliament House, and the Legislative Council looks set to launch a Select Committee of Inquiry into mis-management of your Park Lands.
The Premier, Peter Malinauskas and the Member for Adelaide, Lucy Hood are both offering opportunities to give your opinion, face-to-face, about their Government's series of Park Lands attacks.
These meetings represent opportunities for you to speak up, on behalf of your Open Green Public Adelaide Park Lands.
Take the artists’ advice: it’s so much better to see the 2023 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize finalists in person at the Festival Centre exhibition, than it is to browse the pics on-line.
Twenty-three artists are sharing in artwork sales (so far) of more than $35,000, but the exhibition must close at 4pm on Sunday 7 May.
South Australia’s history will come alive before your eyes - in your Adelaide Park Lands and elsewhere - during the month-long History Festival in May.
Multiple sites within your Park Lands and multiple event organisers are following advice from History Trust chair Elizabeth Ho to “keep the SA history flame alive”.
