A huge thank you to all the volunteers and residents who stopped to have a chat with me. If you want a government focussed on getting the important things right, vote Liberal 💙

I am so pleased to partner with Town of Walkerville by making an election funding commitment of $4 million for the redevelopment of the Walkerville Sports Club under an elected Hurn Liberal Government.

This funding will match Council’s own commitment of $4 million in funding to redevelop the clubrooms at Walkerville Oval.

A revitalised Sports Club will help alleviate the growing strain on our local sporting clubs – across football, cricket, softball and netball – which are struggling to keep up with the growing demand for sporting opportunities for female and junior players. 🏉 🏏

At this upcoming state election, South Australians will be required to make a very important choice.

They can choose higher taxes, a dysfunctional health system and more crime under Labor OR a strong Liberal team led by Ashton Hurn focussed on:

✅ lowering your cost of living
✅ improving our health system
✅ creating stronger and safer communities

Only a vote for a Hurn Liberal Government is a vote to get the important things right. Thank you to Friends & Residents of North Adelaide for inviting me to address North Adelaide residents at last night’s candidate forum 🙏🏻

1,623 Prospect ratepayers have signed our petition calling on Prospect Council to scrap the proposed 12-storey tower next to Prospect Oval.

The Prospect Council can no longer ignore these numbers.

This petition result is proof that there is a huge number of ratepayers who do not want this to go ahead. These numbers don’t even include the areas of Prospect we were unable to visit with the petition.

Matt Larwood, Mayor - City of Prospect - will you now listen to your ratepayers, scrap this project and start again? The people deserve a Council that work for them and represent their views.

I am pleased to have been able to help prepare and draft this petition on behalf of Prospect Concerned Residents Group and will continue to keep fighting for them until the Council starts listening!

✅ Petition Results! ✅

Today we submitted our petition to the Prospect Council. The petition requests council to scrap the current Masterplan with its very high level of development (up to 12 storeys), develop alternative lower density options and present these to the community.

In total we received 2,230 signatures! 814 of these were obtained through the online petition and 1,416 through door knocking of local residents. Of these signatures 73% (1,623) were people who live in the council area and 27% (607) outside.

This is an outstanding result achieved in only 26 calendar days! We believe this demonstrates that a significant amount of people across all wards in Prospect do not support the high level of development proposed by the council, not just those residents living close by.

Thanks to all of you who took the time to sign the petition, shared it with friends and especially those who participated in the door knocking! It was a huge undertaking and it’s greatly appreciated!

The next step will be to present the results at the next Council meeting on the 24th of March. Please mark this in your diaries, your attendance will be valuable so you are able to hear for yourself how the council responds to this feedback from the community.

Finally, if you haven’t yet please make sure you give your feedback on the Phase 4 consultation on the Code Amendment on the Plan SA website. You have until the 15th of March to participate.

North Adelaide residents feel let down by the Government’s failure to consult with them on the North Adelaide Public Golf Course re-development.

I will keep fighting to ensure residents are given the clarity and agency they deserve on this important development.
