Protect Possum Park, Pete!
Protect Possum Park, Pete!
The issue
The Premier, Peter Malinauskas, has a vision: that your Park Lands must be profit centres, and that therefore Open, Green, Public land (as well as trees and biodiversity) must be subservient, or sacrificed to money-making imperatives, such as LIV golf.
Although his plans for the North Adelaide golf courses, on Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands) are still being prepared, it's already clear that the Premier's plans would lead to:
- hundreds of trees being destroyed to make longer, wider fairways;
- new buildings to generate multi-million dollar revenue streams; and
- at least five months of fencing and grandstand construction disrupting North Adelaide each year.
Citizen scientists have (so far) found 86 species on or around the North Adelaide golf courses in Possum Park/ Pirltawardli (Park 1).
Much of this biodiversity would be threatened by likely construction of commercial offices, meeting rooms, restaurants, function spaces and bars operating seven days per week.
Tell the Premier that LIV Golf needs to LIV elsewhere - not be used as an excuse to PILLAGE POSSUM PARK!

This labour state government promised to not develop the park lands as election pledge. Yet this is not the first attempt to build out the city parklands.
Protect possum park
The parklands are for all the people, not just bunch of mega wealthy overpaid twats to whack a ball about. The trees are more important than profit or your ego.
