24.01.2022 A relic from last century - a fossil fuel sport that alienates Victoria Park for up to 5 months every year - has had a setback which has left its advocates grasping for straws. Uncertainty about COVID-19 restrictions has caused a delay in next year's SuperCar motor racing carnival in the Adelaide Park Lands. The event has been postponed from February to later in 2021 - in part because of the costs and time involved in assembling its temporary infrastructure. There have bee...n predictable complaints that the delay in 2021 would not have been required if Victoria Park had a huge permanent motor sport building. Even as support for fossil fuel usage evaporates, the Advertiser has been promoting that opinion. Fortunately neither the Premier, Steven Marshall nor the Lord Mayor, Sandy Verschoor are backing such a divisive short-sighted proposal. Mr Marshall has said that the State Government has no plans for such a building. Ms Verschoor says a motor racing grandstand is not needed. There are many, many other users of that park" the Lord Mayor has told The Advertiser. "We have the criterium, solar cars, pedal prix, people walking dogs, people running that park should be for everyone. Subscriber-only link: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au//1160edf34c864c2267783bc5f2

21.01.2022 The State Government has rejected an attempt by the City Council to impose a 24 hour, 7 day a week "dry zone" across all of the Adelaide Park Lands. See the story in InDaily https://indaily.com.au//citywide-park-lands-booze-ban-kno/ We covered this issue in our newsletter of February 2020 where we described the Council push as "a broad-brush but selective approach to tackle a small segment of what is a much larger problem, for all of society." https://mailchi.mp//built-on-a-lie-analysis-shows-crows-hq

15.01.2022 Support is growing for the proposed 'Adelaide Rainbow Circuit' - an uninterrupted, illuminated, day-night cycling/walking/running trail around the Adelaide Park Lands.
