Strip Slammed
A three-metre wide median strip proposed as part of Adelaide Plains Council’s (APC) ambitious Two Wells main street upgrade has been slammed during the public consultation process, which closed at the end of May. APC received 26 submissions in response to its plan during the
Bec O’Brien reports:
three-week public consultation period, which not only outlined a planted median strip along Old Port Wakefield Road, but incorporated new public toilets, vil-
lage green/town square area and nature play space, new street trees and furniture, safer pedestrian crossings, and new street signage. While many of the submissions were positive of council’s direction and encouraged by the plans, there were others who thought the $700,000-plus spend-
ing was a waste of ratepayers money, and the negative impact of development to residents who currently live within the township was not being taken into consideration. Added to this is news APC did not receive $904,000 additional funding from the state
government under its Planning and Development Fund Grant program for the Village Heart component of the upgrade, which means funds for the proposed new public toilets, had to be found elsewhere. n Continued page 3
