No Change to North Parklands
After an extensive community engagement process Naracoorte Lucindale Council has decided that there will be no change to the current land dedications and use at the North Parklands.
Mayor Erika Vickery OAM and Chief Executive Officer Trevor Smart this morning released a joint statement on behalf of Council.
“The North Parklands area is important to the community and the engagement process clarified that. On balance, considering all the information presented, including the community feedback, the current land availability for residential development, the complexities associated with any development in the North Parklands at present and the significant and long-term approach to housing development in the area, Council has agreed that no change be made to the current land usage of the North Parklands.”
“Further to this, Council will write to the State Government outlining that Council is not supportive of the unsolicited development proposal and seek further information on the possible purchase of all or part of the North Parklands. On behalf of the Naracoorte Lucindale Council, I would like to thank the community for its contribution to this engagement process.”
