Council has worked cooperatively and positively with the Department of Human Service and the Police who are doing their best to accomodate people from remote areas who need to come to Adelaide for health and other reasons by providing services and assisting with journeys home but there is no secure place to stay before or after treatment.
Why was there no funding for a secure solution in the last state budget? These people are South Australians.
Lets get our prioirities right.

Council slams ‘shameful’ delay on parklands camping fix Frustrations are growing there is no long-term solution to replace what was meant to be a temporary camping hub for remote Aboriginal visitors in the Adelaide parklands.

Well after no sleep for anyone living on Whitmore Square last night here are some photos showing the scale of the work. I understand it is connected to the new women’s and children’s hospital power supply but no formal answers yet. There is at least one tree pulled out and garden and path dug up. We want our park returned to what it was at no cost to Adelaide City residents and improved communication with the community. #whitmoresquare

Over the last two years, we have consulted with the community about how to fix the dilapidated facilities on the parklands the council owns, fairly and sustainably. We now have a set amount allocated in the budget each year, we have criteria for upgrading, a balanced policy, and will soon consider a new policy on leasing and licensing. Safety, women's sports, community access, sustainable design, and parklands footprint are now all factors in decision-making.
