News of the development plans for Torrens Island have an awful familiar ring to it.
Government land carved up for ,in this case industrial purposes, when there are alternativees available. eg Maritime Constriuctions which was displaced from the inner harbour at the Port to enable the construction of Newport Quays, will be given river front land where they will have to construct a wharf to operate. PA Enf Mayor Johnasen points out there is a vacant wharf on the Western Bank why not use that? Is it that there is development money for the Government in construction work. And the SARDI iodiesel pilot plant ftom West Beach to Torrens Island , why not locate it near the Desal Plant that used to be an oil plant, and anyway what is the space pressure at West Beach if the plant is not going to be expanded very much.
Just how much this is like the decision making over the railway yards hospital
Heard today that the election booth at RAH polled 7.8% swing against ALP, if that had been expanded to the whole seat of Adelaide, then incumbent Kate Ellis would have suffered the same fate as he state predecessor Jane Lomax Smith. Pity we were'nt able to interests the Libs in riding our hobby horse in the campagn.
