00:00:03
Speaker 1: Well, if you drive around the city at the moment, even the suburbs, I've been seeing stop the chop core flutes out the front of people's houses. It's kind of a message that's spread, not just it's spread further than the CBD boundary now. And there's a deadline for the petition. As you know, this all started petition to stop the chop of the six hundred trees in the North Adelaide golf course. That the deadline for the petition is tomorrow, but they already have quite a few signatures. And Patrick Marr is an Adelaide City councilor and he's one of the lead people on this campaign. He joins you this morning, good morning to you, Patrick.
00:00:40
Speaker 2: Maher, wanting spacy morning.
00:00:42
Speaker 1: Will So, how many signatures do you have so far?
00:00:46
Speaker 2: So we've got twenty eight thousand that we've counted for sure. We've handed that stack into the Lettisleave Council clerk for formal counting already, and we've got another pile that we haven't counted just yet. It pretty sure we're over thirty thousand, and we're not sure what we've quite achieved just yeah, we'll find out next week on Tuesday.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: And apart from you know, the message stop the chop and the trees, what are you hoping the petition achieves, Because as we know, those trees in the North Adelaid Golf Course have already gone.
00:01:22
Speaker 2: That's right, so the petition itself. Funnily enough, the word tree doesn't actually appear anywhere on the petition. So what we're asking for is a immediate hold of all other works and then that there be a Legislative Council committee to review the act that enables both of these works to occur, which is the North Adelaid probably Golf Course Act and the South Australian Most Bought Act, just to see if those acts are appropriate uses of the law, whether there's anything that can be done to fix those so that this doesn't happen again anywhere else, particularly in the case of the motor sport because those works haven't started yet. And the other thing we'd like to see them is that the change of the land parcels for Possum Park and Johnny Brown Park, which are as part of the North Adelaid Golf Course Act. They're changed from crownland to fee simple land and given to care and control of the Minister which is the premier. We'd like to see them return to the car control of the Cadellid City Council in the same way that the rest of the parklands are.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: Is it a bit late for that part of it.
00:02:33
Speaker 1: I think that the Moto GP side of things, people would understand those trees aren't gone yet.
00:02:38
Speaker 3: A decision on the track hasn't been made, so you know.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: A petition or a protest ahead of time makes sense in that respect if you are that way inclined.
00:02:50
Speaker 3: But on the North Adelaide golf Course stuff, is it too little, too late?
00:02:55
Speaker 2: It's certainly unchropped down the trees, but that is more of a governance question. As far as the ongoing care of the land itself. We'd like to see that return to the council because then it's a consistent management of the entire parklands, the only exception there being the strip along North Terrace, which is part of the government domaine. The golf course is not part of that government domain, so it's not really it's not really. We don't think it's appropriate. There is governed in a completely separate manner to the rest of the
00:03:33
