'ECONOMIC ANALYSIS' EXPOSED AS A SHAM |
1. WEIGHING ONLY ONE SIDE |
As we reported in last month's newsletter, Premier Steven Marshall has refused to countenance ending a controversial State Government subsidy for the annual fossil fuel motor sport anachronism in Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16). As part of his response to APPA, the Premier claimed to be weighing both the positive and negative effects of a five-month Park Lands disruption against a four-day noisy motor festival. "I acknowledge the points you have raised regarding the disruption the event causes to the city. Of course, this matter must be weighed up against the significant economic impact the event brings to the race." Now, however, APPA can reveal that the Government has been "weighing" only one side of the ledger. |
 |
In 2018, the Government's hand-picked "Economic Research Consultants Pty Ltd" was tasked with measuring the benefit, to SA, of the four-day motor festival. The South East City Residents Association spent 12 months trying to get access to the consultant's report. What they received eventually, via a Freedom of Information request, was heavily redacted. Almost half of the report that was released looks like this page 8: |
 |
Nevertheless, it is clear even from the redacted report that the consultants made no attempt to measure the costs and disruption the community bears over the five month build and dismantle period, nor the impact of the event on the environment. Nor did the consultants attempt to quantify the damage to South Australia's "clean, green" tourism reputation caused by compromising the world's only city-encircling park over many months. Rather, the focus of the so-called "weighing" was exclusively the short-term profit from a dwindling number of patrons who might otherwise have gone to watch motor sport at Tailem Bend. What can you do? A new "Adelaide 500" working group has been formed to campaign for an end to the annual motor sport takeover of Victoria Park, and its transfer to the purpose-built motor racing track at Tailem Bend. If you'd like to help the working group, contact hendersonpauld@gmail.com |
2. MOTOR RACING DELAYED, NOT CANCELLED |
2. MOTOR RACING DELAYED, NOT CANCELLED |
In recent weeks, the Adelaide 500 motor race has had a minor setback, which has left its advocates grasping for straws. The event has been postponed from February to later in 2021 - in part because of the costs and time involved in assembling its temporary infrastructure, which might be affected by COVID-19 restrictions. |
There has been a predictable backlash that because of the delay in 2021 "let's build a permanent grandstand and be done with it". Even as support for fossil fuel usage evaporates, the Advertiser has been promoting that opinion. ($$ subscriber-only link) |
Fortunately neither the Premier, Steven Marshall nor the Lord Mayor, Sandy Verschoor has backed such a divisive, short-sighted proposal. Mr Marshall has told APPA, in writing, that the State Government is not considering such a building. |
|
|
| Ms Verschoor says a motor racing grandstand is not needed. “There are many, many other users of that park" the Lord Mayor has told The Advertiser. "We have the criterium, solar cars, pedal prix, people walking dogs, people running … that park should be for everyone.” |

The Premier has been promoting "The Bend" motor racing circuit as suitable even for Formula One cars. ($$ subscriber-only link) |
3. CONTROVERSY AS POPLAR TREES REMOVED |
3. CONTROVERSY AS POPLAR TREES REMOVED |
Late in August, work crews moved in to remove this grove of white poplar trees from the the southern end of Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16). |
This is the first step in creating a new wetlands area and rehabilitate the artificial drainage channel through the area (the South Park Lands Creek). |
This was the scene of the former poplar grove last Thursday, 10 September. With the poplars now gone, there is now a clear view of the eucalypt open woodland in the southern part of Victoria Park. |
This is the vision of what is intended to replace the poplar grove. These changes were proposed during a period of community consultation last year. Nevertheless the start of work in August alarmed some locals and those who had enjoyed the moody ambience of the poplar grove. Among the cyclocross bicycle community the poplar plantation was nick-named "the Forest of Doom" and races were held, even in wet weather - something that will no longer be possible. |
The poplar trees were planted in 1953, on the northern side of the South Park Lands Creek. At the time, the purpose of the plantation was merely to reduce localised flooding in winter. In the 1950's, the area was poorly regarded as a swamp. However in recent years the 1953 plantation has been recognised as a mistake because poplars are known as an invasive species that have a negative effect on what might otherwise have been a thriving wetland area, with habitat for native species. |
This scene (above) no longer exists. The works in the area are intended to not only address localised flooding, but also reducde the risk of flooding downstream in Wayville, Goodwood and Unley. The project should also improve biodiversity and provide habitat for native species. This is an overview of what it might look like, assuming sufficient inflow to create the wetland: |
|
|
Related work will occur later, in Blue Gum Park / Kurangga (Park 20). In that Park, some large trees will need to be removed along the course of the South Park Lands Creek, although new plantings are planned, to replace many of the trees targeted for removal. Discussions are continuing between the City Council and the Brown Hill Keswick Creek Stormwater Project team, in an effort to minimise the loss of any significant native trees on the edge of the watercourse in Park 20.

4. SECOND-BIGGEST PARK LANDS GIVEAWAY IN HISTORY |
4. SECOND-BIGGEST PARK LANDS GIVEAWAY IN HISTORY |
Formal "Expressions of Interest" have now closed for what will become the second-largest Park Lands giveaway in Adelaide's history.
The State Government is looking for private bidders to do it all, to "design, finance, construct and own" a massive new building on Park 11 within the world-unique, National heritage listed Adelaide Park Lands.
|
In return, the Government will simply hand over the land (within the former Royal Adelaide Hospital site) that is supposed to be held on trust as Park Lands, for the people of South Australia. |

As scandals go, this is the second-biggest - surpassed only by the even larger and worse giveaway, to the Walker Corporation, of Festival Plaza, where construction of a 23-storey office tower is well under way. See the pic below, provided by Walker Corporation to The Advertiser. |

Expressions of interest for the so-called "Lot Fourteen" (i.e. Park 11) site closed last Thursday, 10 September. Therefore we can expect to see, sometime soon, more artist's impressions of soaring new buildings to be built on YOUR Park 11. |

5. RAINBOW CIRCUIT - A SURVEY FOR YOU |
Support is growing for the proposed 'Adelaide Rainbow Circuit' - an uninterrupted illuminated, day-night cycling/walking/running trail around the Adelaide Park Lands. The Premier, Steven Marshall recently referred the proposal to the State Treasurer to consider funding a feasibility study. |
The project's founder, Jason Redman (pictured) now has a website for the Adelaide Rainbow Circuit, along with linked Facebook and Instagram feeds.

6. MORE OUTDOOR EVENTS NEAR ADELAIDE OVAL |
6. MORE OUTDOOR EVENTS NEAR ADELAIDE OVAL |
The City Council is expecting to see more community events staged in the gardens and lawns surrounding Adelaide Oval.
On Tuesday 8 September, [CHECK THIS ACTUALLY OCCURRED] the Council approved a consultation draft community land management plan for "the Adelaide Oval Precinct" which is the northern part of Tarntanya Wama (Park 26).
The Council retains very little control of this area. The State Government controls all of the area outlined in yellow and pink on the map below. The areas south of Adelaide Oval are still controlled by the City Council, but have been leased to Tennis SA (until 2057) and to Memorial Drive Tennis Club, and Next Gen fitness centre (until 2048). |

 |
Nevertheless, the proposed new City Council management plan envisages permitting: - On Oval No. 2 - up to eight concerts or events each year, for crowds of up to 15,000 with amplified music
- On Creswell Gardens and/or Penningston Gardens West, community events (not commercial) with crowds of up to 5,000
- On Stella Bowen Park: community or cultural events with crowds of up to 1,500, during daylight hours.

- On Stella Bowen Park: community or cultural events with crowds of up to 1,500, during daylight hours.
|
Under the proposed plan, car parking will continue to be a major alienation in the Adelaide Oval Precinct area. There are already commercial arrangements for permanent car parks at Adelaide Oval, Memorial Drive Tennis Courts and the Next Gen fitness centre. See the pics above and below. In addition, on "event days" the State Government allows the Stadium Management Authority to have up to 1,350 cars parked on Park Lands surrounding Adelaide Oval. The City Council has no power to reduce this number. |
The draft Community Land Management Plan will be distributed for public comment. Despite this "consultation", and regardless of any feedback, very little in the plan can be changed - because it largely just reflects the State Government's over-riding legal powers and the leasing and licensing arrangements that the State Government has already made with the Stadium Management Authority. |
7. CONTACT A SENATOR - PARKS & SPECIES AT RISK |
7. CONTACT A SENATOR - PARKS & SPECIES AT RISK |
The Morrison Government is half-way through weakening what little federal legal protection exists for the Adelaide Park Lands and other sites of national environmental or heritage significance.
The "Streamlining Environmental Approvals Bill" was rushed through the House of Representatives late on Thursday 3 September, with the Government preventing independent MP's from debating the measures:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-03/australia-environnment-laws-epbc-government-cross-bench/12627612
The Bill will go before the Senate after Parliament resumes on 6 October. |
The failings of Federal environmental protection have already been exposed by the Auditor-General:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-25/auditor-general-severe-deficiencies-environmental-protection/12393780 In July, a landmark review into Australia's national environment laws called for a major overhaul, including establishing an "independent cop" to oversee them. |
|
|
The "Streamlining Environmental Approvals Bill" would entirely remove federal oversight of what State Governments can do to threatened areas, habitats and species, that are supposedly protected by Federal legislation. The Adelaide Park Lands is just one of many sites at risk.
Environmental conditions across the world are rapidly deterioriating, due to climate change, land clearing, and developers targeting sensitive locations.
The challenges posed by COVID-19 make it more important than ever to protect our natural world - but the Federal Government is moving in the opposite direction, trying to strip away what little protection is offered by Federal laws. |
 |
It's now too late to contact your local MP to highlight this issue, because the vote in the House of Representatives has already been lost. The only recourse now is to contact one or more of South Australia's 12 senators:
Liberal Party: ALP Centre Alliance Greens Independent Given the well-known public positions of each of the major parties and the Greens, it is probably most important to contact the two Senators who might be undecided, i.e the two Centre Alliance and Independent senators. Clicking on each of the links above will open up a suggested draft email for you to use. |
8. VIDEO OF THE MONTH - PARK 27 (Bonython Park & more) |
8. VIDEO OF THE MONTH - PARK 27 (Bonython Park & more) |
Our video for September looks at a Park that has lost so much - but still has, at its core, one of the most popular parts of the Adelaide Park Lands. Park 27 includes Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli but that is only one part of its story. |
Next month: John E. Brown Park (Park 27A). Catch up with videos for most of the other Parks (Park 1 through to Park 26) at our YouTube Channel. |
a) Lutheran Sports Club - Park 21W The City Council has approved in principle yet another private function centre on the Park Lands. The Lutheran Sports Club put forward a design for a two-storey building in Golden Wattle Park / Muirnu Wirra (Park 21W). In addition to change rooms, toilets and other facilities for sport, the building design also includes a second floor massive "multi-purpose space" - with seating capacity for 150 (see the area on the left in the plan, below). If constructed it would more than double the floor space of the current sports building in that Park - from 350 square metres to 895 square metres. |
There is not yet any funding available for construction of this building, but now that the Council has approved the design, the sports club will be looking for funding. The Council ignored APPA's submission that private social spaces or clubrooms should not be located on public Park Lands. |
b) Prince Alfred College - Park 9 In last month's newsletter we reported that the Adelaide Park Lands Authority had deferred plans by Prince Alfred College and its Old Collegians for a multi-million dollar sports building and "club rooms" on Bundey's Paddock / Tidlangga (Park 9). |
The story's now been taken up in the Adelaide Review. Author John Bridgland has put this proposal into the context of several recent other proposals (and others still in the pipeline). He draws attention to recent trends for ever-larger buildings, containing function rooms and catering facilities, needing larger car parks on Park Lands and with sporting bodies wanting ever-longer leases at heavily discounted rates.

Auditor-General warns on Oval Hotel We hate to say "We told you so" to the Government, but of course we did warn about this.
As reported in InDaily earlier this month:
"The State Government did not follow “specialist advice” on the rate of its Adelaide Oval Hotel loan because it “may not be commercially viable”, the Auditor-General has found, in a report warning the coronavirus pandemic’s ongoing impact on the stadium’s operations “may present a risk” to its ability to fulfil its loan obligations." |

Tent village in Park 23 Camping or makeshift housing on the Park Lands resurfaces as an issue from time to time. During the Great Depression of the 1930s there were many shanty huts erected in Park 11, and isolated tents are found fairly frequently. In late August and early September 2020, at least a dozen tents were set up just off West Terrace in G.S. Kingston Park / Wirrarninthi (Park 23). It was the largest such campsite seen in recent decades. However by Friday 11 September, many of the tents had gone, and only six remained: |
There is a City Council by-law that prohibits camping. However, the City Council is not obliged to enforce this by-law. It can exercise discretion and leave such campsites undisturbed. In practice, homeless people are usually referred to welfare shelters. |
