A mockup plan for a new championship golf course in Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands) has indicated a minimum canopy loss of 54% from the Park’s 9,000 trees.

The State Government is now under pressure to defend or justify its looming tree massacre, being planned to cater for a small number of multi-millionaire FIFO golfers.
