So how does one plan for a new boganville?
Yeah but it would link to the Gawler - Elizabeth - Salisbury part of the line which would be the likely areas where most residents would work.Somebody wrote:Some train running along a freight line to Adelaide every couple of hours would not be a solution to the area's transport needs.
You do realise that the height above sea level for this area is the same as Port Adelaide, Semaphore, Glenelg, the adelaide airport etc etc...Jim wrote:It won’t be long and we are calling this Buckland lakes!Jim wrote:The more I read on climate change the more I am convinced that we are now looking at the more the extreme of predicted impacts including rise in sea level.

Yes, and the port already floods on king tides, the Pat's a mess at GlenelgP.K. wrote:You do realise that the height above sea level for this area is the same as Port Adelaide, Semaphore, Glenelg, the adelaide airport etc etc...Jim wrote:It won’t be long and we are calling this Buckland lakes!Jim wrote:The more I read on climate change the more I am convinced that we are now looking at the more the extreme of predicted impacts including rise in sea level.

EDIT - actually, that must have been an older proposal by the same people, the current one is still awaiting assessment and hasn't produced its environment impact statement for public comment yet.Buckland Park Rural Land Division | 440 rural living allotments | Refused | Vosporos Pty Ltd

THE GREENS want the State Government to reject the $2 billion Buckland Park development describing it as a "massive ghetto".
The Walker Corporation proposes to build 12,000 housing blocks over 25 years in the satellite city near Virginia.
Greens MLC Mark Parnell says the nearest services, including hospitals and employment opportunities were more than 20km away, with most residents expected to commute long distances to work.
"I cannot think of a worse housing plan – sticking tens of thousands of people outside the urban growth boundary, on a flood plain, next to a smelly composting facility in a heavily car-dependent commuter suburb," he said.
"The Buckland Park project is a massive ghetto in waiting as people attracted by relatively cheap land are marooned by high petrol prices."
