Apparently the State Government is not planning to publish submissions on the 30 Year Plan. So in the interests of public debate and transparency blogawler has approached people who we know have made submissions.
Please find attached a copy of the submissions of Sue Coldbeck and A Shackley and the views of Graham Brookman.
We hope to add to the submissions as we collect them. Mark Parnell MLC has also made some observations about the population projections in the 30 year plan and conflicts of interest see http://markparnell.org.au/speech.php?speech=798
More submissions: Paul Koch for the Gawler Urban Growth Boundary Forum Committee.
Helen Wilmore for the Cheek Avenue Area Residents Group
The Gawler Environment and Heritage Association has also provided their submission.
