"Release the hit list"

Despite a promise of “extensive consultation” the State Government is still with-holding most of its plans for the North Adelaide golf course in the urban forested Possum Park /Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands).

You can urge the Premier to identify every one of the 585 mature trees that he admits he wants to destroy.

Meanwhile, the City Council has deferred a vote on handing over a three-hectare Park Lands site for a $135 million, two-storey megalith aquatic and commercial centre.

Waterworks and bricks

Have you noticed this strange small octagonal building in Rundle Park / Kadlitpina (Park 13) near the corner of Botanic Road and Dequetteville Terrace?
