The Government must reveal whether any legislative change will be required to enable the redevelopment of the North Adelaide Golf Club as part of the LIV Golf deal, say the SA Greens.
“The Premier referenced both One Nation and Connie Bonaros in yesterday’s media announcement. Does this mean he has their support to make any changes necessary to planning laws affecting the Park Lands?” asked Greens SA Planning Spokesperson, Robert Simms.
“Will there be same level of community access to public green space under the LIV golf plan? Will trees be removed? Will the new Golf Course offer the same level of public service and at what cost to players? Will the Council continue to run the golf course, or will it be run by the State Government, like the redeveloped Aquatic Centre? These are all important questions that need to be considered when assessing any proposal for the Park Lands.”
“It’s concerning that crossbenchers would potentially give the government a blank cheque when it comes to Park Lands development. Parliament shouldn’t be asked to sign up to this plan, sight unseen. When Parliament resumes this week, the Government must clearly detail its intentions.”
