Another election commitment has been delivered by the Member for Badcoe Jayne Stinson MP.
Local walkers, runners, cyclists, pram-users and wheelchair-users will soon enjoy greater safety in and around Forestville Reserve, with widened archways under the tram line and broadened shared paths.
“We’ve saved Forestville Reserve! This is a great day for our environment and for the long-term future of our beloved and beautiful local reserve,” Member for Badcoe Jayne Stinson said.
“The government’s listened to locals, undertaken detailed and meaningful consultation, along with engineering analysis of all possible alternatives.”
The Member for Badcoe Jayne Stinson has released the Plympton Oval Masterplan.
The release of the plan marks the delivery of Ms Stinson’s 2022 election pledge and kicks off the process to refresh and upgrade the popular sports and community hub at Plympton Park.
Jayne Stinson MP has lodged a submission with RenewalSA detailing the views and concerns of the Badcoe community about the planned Locale development at Forestville.
The submission is based on extensive community consultation conducted by Ms Stinson spanning several years, as well as survey results since the latest plans were released in 2021.
Although overall there is a moderate to high level of support for the project, there are three main areas on concern for local people. These are proposed heights exceeding mandated limits along Leader Street; Traffic congestion; and green space and urban canopy.
Picture this.
You come home from a busy day at work. Much like any other weekday afternoon.
You step over your doormat emblazoned with 'Welcome'. Home to your safe haven. You hug your kids, kiss your partner, pat the dog. Maybe you'll unwind with a cool drink on the back porch before starting to cook dinner. Maybe you'll go for a walk, and chat with your friendly neighbours along the way.
I've had scores of calls, Facebook messages and emails about information given to the Budget and Finance Committee this week by the Department for Transport about the South Road upgrade. I've sent the Department an urgent letter asking for clarification for our community. If you'd like to discuss your individual circumstances with me just get in touch.
The SA Parliament’s Budget and Finance Committee today heard new information of relevance to the people of Badcoe. The number of properties to be acquired has risen to ‘around 400’, the revelation of which properties will be acquired will now be ‘progressive’, and the Department discussed what being doorknocked by a DIT official might mean for local people
The heart breaking, violent and unfathomable situation in Afghanistan is undoubtedly horrific.
What was once a nation on the long path towards equality and democracy, has now veered off and is speeding in an entirely different direction – back to a dark past.
There is great suffering – and the constant fear of even greater suffering to come.
Badcoe residents have been told for nine months that the Cross Road intersection (Emerson Crossing) won't be touched as part of the North-South Corridor work.
We've been flatly told by DIT that Cross Road will NOT connect into the southern tunnel at all.
In Parliament on the 3rd August, the Minister suggested the OPPOSITE - indicating Cross Road IS part of the project!
ABC Radio Adelaide:
A planned tunnel project underneath Adelaide's South Road aims to ease congestion and minimise the number of homes demolished by taking construction underground.
But residents say they've been left in limbo, unsure if their home will be compulsorily acquired to make way for the project…
