A permanent grandstand on Victoria Park for motorsports would represent even more encroachment on the Adelaide Parklands warn the SA Greens.
“Premier Malinauskas should rule out a permanent grandstand on Victoria Park to accommodate motorsports. This debate was settled years ago and to dig this up again now at a time when there is already so much community outrage over the Government’s land grabs demonstrates how out of touch this Premier is becoming,” said Robert Simms MLC.
“Victoria Park is open, community space. A new, permanent stand would overshadow the existing, iconic heritage listed building and represent even more alienation of the Park Lands. This land should be open and accessible to all. The Park Lands aren’t simply a prop for Labor’s pet projects.”
“Once again, this demonstrates the need to add the Park Lands to the state heritage register. We need to see their unique character and status protected for future generations to enjoy.”
