Protect Possum Park, Pete!

The issue

The Premier, Peter Malinauskas, has a vision: that your Park Lands must be profit centres, and that therefore Open, Green, Public land (as well as trees and biodiversity) must be subservient, or sacrificed to money-making imperatives, such as professional golf.

Although his plans for the North Adelaide golf courses, on Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands) are "commercial-in-confidence" it's clear that the Premier's plans would lead to:

Citizen scientists have (so far) found more than 120 species on or around the North Adelaide golf courses in Possum Park/ Pirltawardli (Park 1). 

Much of this biodiversity would be threatened by likely construction of commercial offices, meeting rooms, restaurants, function spaces and bars operating seven days per week.

Now it's the Australian Open, (maybe instead of LIV golf) but either way, it doesn't matter to the trees, or the wildlife.  Professional golf can LIV elsewhere - not be used as an excuse to PILLAGE POSSUM PARK!
