The campaign to protect Adelaide's heritage Park Lands has reached a major milestone, securing 13,500 physical signatures. This achievement officially triggers the 10,000-signature threshold required to prompt a Parliamentary Committee inquiry in the Legislative Council.

Spurred by growing community concern over state-backed development projects on public green spaces, the grassroots movement relies entirely on paper petitions distributed by volunteers across South Australia.

"This is bigger than any one person; this is a movement," said City Councillor Keiran Snape. "The fight for our Park Lands isn't a local, city-centric issue, it is a South Australian-wide demand for transparency."

With over two weeks remaining before the petition closes, organisers have set a new stretch target of 18,000 signatures to further strengthen the call for an independent parliamentary inquiry.
