Works will continue at the North Adelaide Public Golf Course upgrade after a legal bid to immediately halt works was not successful in the Federal Court.
An opponent of the project sought an injunction in the Federal Court, in a bid to stop the South Australian Government from carrying out or authorising any further works within the North Adelaide Golf Course redevelopment project site.
The Federal Court did not grant the injunction on Monday, meaning work on the site can continue as planned.
“The State Government welcomes the decision of the Federal Court today, which means works at the North Adelaide Public Golf Course can continue as planned,” said Minister for the City of Adelaide, Lucy Hood.
“This is an exciting project for the state, which will significantly improve the existing public golf course at North Adelaide and improve the amenity of our Park Lands.
“It will also be capable of hosting major tournaments within walking distance of the CBD, delivering significant economic benefit to our state.
“We are pleased work on this project can continue.”
Work on the site started in April and the current phase of the project includes ground works such as shaping holes, laying irrigation and preparing the site for the laying of turf. No further trees are planned for removal in coming weeks.
The Government says the North Adelaide Public Golf Course upgrade will turn the existing golf course into one of the world’s best public golf courses, within walking distance of the Adelaide CBD.
The upgraded course is set to host the men’s and women’s Australian Open as well as LIV Golf Adelaide, delivering significant economic benefit to South Australia.
