$2 MILLION KESMOND RESERVE UPGRADE
WATCH MANREET’S STORY HERE: https://fb.watch/bKvETl2Fm3/
Energetic five year old Manreet loves playing at Kesmond Reserve with her Mum Randeep. They're among the local families to benefit from a $2 million upgrade to this wonderful community space.
At the last election I pledged to upgrade Kesmond Reserve - and I'm delighted it's now finally happening! I lobbied the Premier Steven Marshall for this upgrade in 2018 but he refused. I’m glad someone in the Department now sees the merit of the plan.
The upgrade includes a fitness loop, multi-sport courts, nature play area, new community building, shelters, cricket and soccer nets and landscaping.

RADIO INTERVIEW: Impact of Mike Turtur Bikeway Overpass at Forestville
What people have been raising with me are a number of different concerns. On one hand I’ve got people saying this project has taken ages, it’s been years and years, it was initially a project of the former Labor Government, so it’s been dragging on and they want to see it happy, and we do need upgraded cycling infrastructure and I’m supportive of that; but other people in Forestville, and I’m a Forestville resident myself – I live right near where this thing’s being built
MEDIA RELEASE: Future secured for Forestville Hockey Club
A Labor Government will invest $3 million to rescue the Forestville Hockey Club and provide it with a permanent new home at Unley High School.
The funding consists of a new $2 million election commitment and $1 million already allocated by the former Labor government in 2017 to fund a synthetic pitch.
MEDIA RELEASE: Labor will restore the axed City High School Zone
The decision means families in Marleston, Kurralta Park, Glandore, Black Forest, Clarence Park, Mile End, Hilton, Torrensville and Richmond will again have the choice to enrol their children in their nearest school.
Labor will invest $98 million to expand Adelaide Botanic High School and increase student capacity by 700.
MEDIA RELEASE: Massive cuts to Badcoe public transport in January
A lack of notification and sudden cuts to public transport services left many commuters returning to work stranded this morning waiting for services to arrive.
This morning, passengers waiting for bus and trams services learnt that there had been a sudden change to services for the entire month of January with little notification.
This yet again highlights just how unprepared the Marshall Liberal Government was for the reopening of borders and letting COVID into South Australia.
OPINION: The Power of Education
Interspersed between well-rehearsed Christmas carols, certificates are placed in small hands as big toothy smiles burst from rosy cheeks. Proud parents clap wildly and hone their iPhones to capture that precious moment. Teachers beam with delight and pride at the achievements of their young charges.
