Interesting that they aren't looking to make it a club, as such, a venue for their members, just training and admin.

The Aquatic center is a money losing dump and an eyesore. Good luck to anyone who wants to develop that area

The members have been asking for one for years and despite my level of compassion for them they deserve it. They buy memberships, they put their bums in their seats, they really should have somewhere to hold their knitting and cheering classes.

Im amazed the council is considering it, it will open up the flood gates for any business to buy their way into the Parklands if it proceeds.

If a business is going to redevelop an already existing commercial site, then I don't see a problem.

I’m meh if it happens or not but how much green space do people need? There is so much available to be used, but really very little is used on a constant basis. They are talking way less than 1% of total green space available.

Makes sense to have a base for them in the Parklands. They can have a fan engagement activity and tie them to trees while playing the Richmond song.

Firstly, some parkland development doesn't really bother me, redeveloping an already existing site really should cause no issues with anyone, even the tree huggers. I do however think the federal government pitching in $15m is a bridge too far. If Crowcorp.com.au* want to develop it, let them foot the bill.

Footnote - played cricket on one of the ovals on the southern side of the aquatic centre years and years and year ago, against Rose Park's lower grades, The ground was so dry and had cracked that badly that you would put a cricket ball in the cracks.

Is it any different to the SACA doing up what is now Karen Rolton Oval but just on a much larger scale?
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

The Aquatic Centre needs a $15 million upgrade alone I would think

Crowcorp.com.au have presented the angle that it is for all South Australians to enjoy which is why they are getting the Government grant.

I agree that the government should not put in 15 million to the Crows.

It should be the SANFL like they did for Port.
