There's uncertainty about the future of the three North Adelaide Golf Courses, on Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands) and the 85 identified species, acknowledged as an incomplete record of the biodiversity of that Park.

The City Council is entering a 'Memorandum of Understanding' with the State Government, envisaging a long-term lease and a multi-million dollar "re-development".

What will this mean for the hundreds of significant, century-old trees on and around the existing Park Lands golf courses? What will this mean for public access, and for golfers, during construction and later?

How much fencing will there be, for how many months of the year? What large new buildings will be proposed? How much of your Open, Green, Public space will be lost?

The Premier has not given the answers to these questions, but it’s possible to read between the lines of what’s been publicly announced.

The Adelaide Park Lands Association wants to gauge community reaction, to inform any public campaign over coming months.

Speakers include: (from left):

* APA Committee member & North Adelaide golfer, Sarah Russo;

* Former professional golfer and 4x club champion of the North Adelaide Golf Club, Keith Preston

* North Ward Councillor, Phillip Martin; and

* APA President, Shane Sody

The Member for Adelaide, Lucy Hood MP has been invited to speak but has a prior engagement. Her office has advised that the Premier, Peter Malinauskas, will provide a statement for the meeting.

Hear the speakers, ask questions, and make up your own mind: Can your Park Lands live with LIV Golf?

What: Public meeting: “Will They LIV or Die?”
Where: North Adelaide Community Centre, 176 Tynte Street, North Adelaide
When: Saturday 29 March 2.00pm to 3.30pm

Places at this community event are limited, so please reserve your place with free ticketing here, through Humanitix.
