UPDATE 22/8/10

Too many cooks spoil the broth -


Preliminary results  for yesterdays Federal election indicate a rocky road for Hindmarsh in the coming period. The strong possibility that neither the Coaltion or the ALP will be able to easily get legislation through the new parliament means that a range of Federal infrastructure spending will dry up. The State Treasurer is shortly to bring down a mini budget which will reflect this uncertainty, and the implications for the Bowden Urban Village project will be significant in Hindmarsh.

In the Adelaide electorate, which includes that portion of Hindmarsh east of South road, the ALP candidate Kate Ellis was comfortably returned, suffering a 4% swing against her, which passed entirely to the Greens (13% first preference vote). Expect a powerful campaign in the media against the Greens, who will hold the casting vote in the Senate once the new Green senators take their seats next year.

SALE OF STREET OPPOSED

FIRST STREET,
BROMPTON
A number of ratepayers in Brompton
and Bowden wards have taken action
to prevent, if possible, the selling of
First St Brompton, despite the res-
sult of the poll taken on Saturday declar-
ing in favor of the proposal. Reference
to the question will probably be made
in Parliament. The following letter has
been sent to the Commissioner of Crown
Lands on the subject:-
We, the undersigned ratepayers in the Hind-
marsh municipality, respectfullv desire to bring
the following facts before your notice in refe-
rence to the proposal to sell part of First
A poll of the ratepayers was held on Saturday,
July 15, and although the two wards concerned
viz, Brompton and Bowden wards, gave a
negative vote, the poll was carried by the rate
payers of Hindmarsh ward, who are in no way
concerned, and who will reap a large share
from the proceeds of the sale if it is completed
Ratepayers in Brompton and Bowden wards pro-
pose petitioning his Excellency the Governor.
against the closing of the street in terms of
legal opinion received from the Hon. W.J.
Denny, and we, the undersigned ratepayers, re
spespectfully request you to withhold your sanction
to the transference of the street to tbe South
Australian Gas Company until a memorial has
been prepared to the Governor, which is now in
hand. Might we respectfully point out that if the
street is closed it will seriously interfere with
the convenience of a large number of ratepay-
ers, and will be an invasion of their rights as
citizens. We desire also to say that a majo-
rity of members in the Hindmarsh Town Council
are adverse to the selling of the street, and
that at several public meetings….

Re:     Bowden Urban Village Community Groups Briefing - Session 3

           on Tuesday 3 August 2010 at 6.00pm - 8.30pm

           at  Bowden Brompton Community Centre, 19 Green Street, Brompton

 Thank you to those who were able to join us for the briefing and discussions on Bowden Urban Village yesterday evening at the Bowden Brompton Community Centre. It was the second of what has developed into a series of discussions in relation to the proposed Bowden Urban Village development on the former Clipsal and Origin Energy sites.

At the first briefing, held on 14 July, we had some interesting and frank discussions in looking at the next steps - milestones and engagement opportunities, the DPA process, cultural heritage mapping, place making and ongoing consultation - recapping on the master plan process and looking at the outcomes of the master plan review.

 We re-convened on 27 July to focus on the guiding principles and governance for project delivery. The guiding principles relate to:  the site; buildings; streets, squares and open spaces; movement/transport; mixed uses; sustainability and community engagement. We agreed that a further session was needed to cover all the principles in the depth that is needed, and a further session beyond that to look in depth at some of the next steps.

 We therefore invite you to join us at the Bowden Brompton Community Centre on Tuesday 3 August 2010 from 6:00pm-8:30pm to continue discussing the principles. Please note that we will be starting at 6.00pm.

 In spreading the word of this briefing, we are emailing key representatives and individuals who were invited and/or attended the briefings on 14 and 27 July.

 We ask that all key representatives canvass other members of the community groups they represent, to ensure that they are advised and have the opportunity to participate.

 We would be grateful if, for the purposes of catering and room layout, the key representative of each group invited could respond to advise the names and numbers of their organisation's participants by close of business Friday, 30 July 2010 - to either the Bowden Urban Village project email address or 1800 number - below.

 As with previous sessions, light refreshment will be provided, being sandwiches, biscuits, tea, coffee and juice. 

 If anyone has any queries in relation to the briefing please contact us.
