SA's new Planning Minister Josh Teague is about to make the biggest decision in the 184-year history of the Adelaide Park Lands.

*These are the areas (heavy black diagonal lines) that are at risk from the rezoning*

He'll soon be getting advice from the State Planning Commission on whether he should re-zone up to 70 hectares of your Open Green Public Park Lands to let developers loose and erect buildings such as offices, apartments, hotels etc (up to 20 storeys) along your Riverbank.

Last month, Mr Teague replaced Vicki Chapman as Planning Minister and Attorney-General, picking up Ms Chapman's controversial initiative, started earlier this year, to re-zone Park Lands areas that in total are 35 times the size of Adelaide Oval.

Consultation was open for only six weeks, and Mr Teague will soon be getting a summary of the results and recommendations from the State Planning Commission on what decision he should make.

Crucially, no information about the public consultation will be publicly released until AFTER Mr Teague has made his decision.

None of the members of the five-member State Planning Commission have environmental or heritage credentials, so it's unlikely their advice to Minister Teague would emphasize the world-unique nature of Adelaide's priceless garland of Park Lands.

Last month, more than 100 prominent South Australians signed an Open Letter to the Government urging a re-think.

We’ve asked for an urgent meeting with Mr Teague before he makes his decision.

Although public consultation has closed, it's not too late for you to contact Minister Teague directly. See our suggested messaging at www.adelaide-parklands.asn.au/rezoning
