Comments: "so $85 million is it, as SAJC announces preferred developer. Chicken feed compared to what it's actually worth as open space and could be worth as water management area." - David  
       
  "first reports say 900, now they say 1,000 three-storey pre-fab houses are to be packed in to make this open space go from 'special use zone' to concrete jungle... If the SAJC sell-up then they should get out. Declare this a NO POKIES zone." - AZ  
       
  How dare they sell off this land and allow
inappropriate energy consuming housing development

  Save Cheltenham

Under the 1961 Proclamation Cheltenham Park Racecourse was donated in a "Will" to the South Australian Government and Racing Authority

The 1961 Proclamation

The donation of this land had two special provisions

1. The land was used for the sole purpose of Racing.

2. The land would be left as Open Space


Questions?

1. The South Australian Racing Authority do not own this land and therefore the land is not theirs to sell

"Cheltenham Park" "Belongs to the People".


Observation

If I died and my will left in trust $1,000,000.00 dollars to my only child in my will, with special provision that the child would not recieve this amount until aged 21


Their is no possible way that this child would be able to overturn my wish, the child could not dispute my wishes and would have to wait until aged 21.


Court Action

High Court Action - with the support of Mr Rod Sawford Federal Minister and over 1200 people whom opposing the Sale of Cheltenham at Woodville Town Hall


If the South Australian Racing Body do not want to race at Cheltenham anymore, they should relinquish their rights to this land


The South Australian Government should abide to the wishes of the deceased and leave Cheltenham Park as open space


The People should now confiscate the land, pitching tents, caravans, until the final decision by the courts is made

Dear Rob,

Does it mean that if Cheltenham is no longer used as a racecourse, there is legal recourse to overturn the Open Space will of the Testator (if that's the correct term), as simple as applying to the Governor General of the day to do so?

That is what I am lead to believe.

I believe that the racing industry do not own the racecourse, Government have no right to sign over the land, in 1961 a deceased person left in his will land with special restriction as suggested, racing could use this land for racing only, whilst if they do not want to race their anymore the proclamation suggested the land would be left open.

The land should be returned to the people, the rate and tax payers

This is an act of Treason to go against a person will, whilst the advise from Mr Conlon is crap, their is nothing to sell whilst is Mr conlon a lawyer "No" my advice to those whom support keeping cheltenham is mount a legal challenge just like the asbestos man, he won for the people.

We should confiscate this land now imagine building another 900 houses we dont have enough water for the population now, whilst port adelaide is about to be the boom suburb of the 21st and 22nd century, maybe they should shift the city to the port like all other states which are built on the rivers
