Some people may have received an early edition of The Advertiser on Tuesday 16 October which had a misprint on the first page regarding building in the parklands. This was corrected in later editions on that day.
The concept put forward by the Civic Trust on page 4 clearly separates the parklands from any building projects and even from hard surface sports by proposing that the parklands be reserved for soft-surface sports while hard-surface sports are encouraged in other areas such as within and above the rail yards area at Keswick and Mile End South.
This creates the best of both worlds by maintaining the parklands as Adelaide’s world-renowned natural recreation area and dedicating a special area outside and west of the parklands to hard surface activities. The suggested layout would also enhance access by western suburbs residents to the parklands.
The first stage of the Public Vision is now complete and focusses on the west side of the city. It will be published in The Advertiser on Tuesday 16 October 2007.
Many thanks to all those who contributed, both through the website and personally.
