FUTURE OF THE GOODWOOD OVAL SMALL PITCH

The City of Unley wants to extend the tennis courts and build new cricket nets on the former hockey field at the Goodwood Oval Complex.

I secured a new home for the Forestville Hockey Club, which opened at Unley High last year. This means they are no longer using the pitch for training.

The new tennis and cricket structures would protrude approximately 45 metres into the existing green space, from the existing tennis club fenceline. Five wickets will be concrete and fully enclosed. 12 grass wickets will have retractable soft nets.

The current location of the cricket training nets poses safety risks, especially when it rains, and balls can hit the public. TennisSA would like to host national-grade tournaments, but its courts are not configured to appropriate standards.

As a local, I know this open green space is highly valued by neighbours, especially as a personal fitness and dog exercise space.

I have no position on the proposal at this stage. That’s why I’m asking for your views. You can read the project proposal HERE

THE FUTURE OF THE KESWICK BARRACKS SITE

The state government is discussing the future of the iconic Keswick Barracks site with the federal government. There are no development plans at this stage and the site remains in the hands of the Department of Defence.

I want to hear what you think about the potential future for this much-loved landmark. Your views will form part of my ongoing work to advocate the interests of our community.

FEEDBACK ON MORPHETTVILLE RACECOURSE DEVELOPMENT

Morphettville Racecourse has released its latest plans for a housing, hotel and entertainment redevelopment. I understand that Badcoe residents, particularly in Plympton Park have questions and concerns. Let me know what you think or ask your questions here.

At the community meeting I called to discuss this development, I committed to writing series of letters to decision-makers on behalf of our community. You can read the letters I wrote below.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: WE WON! The South Road Design was updated in December 2022 and the right turn has been reinstated.

The Marshall Liberal government was planning to stop right turns from Anzac Highway onto South Road (from both the City and Bay directions) at the Gallipoli Overpass. This would have severely impacted the way so many of us get around our neighbourhood.
