The State Government is seeking your feedback on this bitumen-paved part of your Adelaide Park Lands, but you have only until Friday 17 December to respond.
2. NO MEETING, SECRET ADVICE ON RE-ZONING DECISION
by Shane Sody
SA's new Planning Minister Josh Teague is about to make the biggest decision in the 184-year history of your Adelaide Park Lands.
