Active: Consultation completed - await decision by Labor’s Planning Minister Nick Champion on whether to allow 20 storey towers in Glenside.
I am concerned about Labor's plans for the Glenside redevelopment and the impact it may have on our local area. While I recognise the urgent need for new housing supply in South Australia, unrestrained high rise urban infill in established suburbs puts significant pressure on existing infrastructure which is already at capacity including schools, open space, tree canopy, parking, water and sewerage, and will further add to the traffic congestion in our area.
