North Adelaide Golf Course

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Presented a petition signed by 120 residents of South Australia requesting the council to urge the government to:

1. Respect Acknowledgement to Country. Engage the Kaurna traditional owners and elders with regards to the destruction of their heritage in the Pirltawardli area.

2. Respect Australia's duty to reconciliation and stop the recurrent racist and destructive practices that we will witness of desecrating this part of the Adelaide Park Lands. Desist modern colonist actions and mentality. Commit to the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 at the North Adelaide Golf Course and stop uprooting and displacing all living past, present and future.

3. Respect integrity of governance. Commit to inclusive community engagement and consultation. Before legislative bills are introduced to the Parliament of South Australia on Pirltawardli, consult. Revoke the North Adelaide Public Golf Course Bill legislation. Relocate LIV Golf from North Adelaide. Don't substitute the LIV North Adelaide Golf Course for another development as happened with the Adelaide Aquatic Centre and then transferring its management.

4. Conduct traffic management surveys and traffic impact assessments surrounding North Adelaide Golf Course and review past data. Establish community reference groups for the continuum of consultation and design as happened with the South Road T2T Torrens Road to River Torrens development, and Ovingham Overpass.

5. Commit to securing paid employment for volunteers at LIV Golf tournaments.

6. Establish and refer to appropriate committee(s) the petition requests.
