Commenting on the story: ‘Enormous potential’: Govt mulls Women’s and Children’s Hospital site future
In the article discussing the future use of the current Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the proposed new WCH site adjacent to the Royal Adelaide Hospital is referred to as the “rail yards” site.
In fact, it was developed as an attractive park including a wetland some years ago at, a cost I would guess in the millions of dollars. Why must government continue to build over our precious park lands rather than use appropriate commercial sites for hospital, school and commercial developments?
The current WCH is not built on park land, neither should be the new hospital. The government obviously sees park lands as free available space for commercial and public building developments. This is not what was intended for the park lands. It appears from what WCH expert staff are reported to have said, that the proposed “rail yards” site is too confined for the new WCH anyway.
I urge interested readers to look at the park land development on this site before it disappears, and also to lobby politicians for a more suitable new WCH site rather than destroying another park and building over yet more park land on the pretext that it is only rail yards. – John Zwar

I, for one, do not want helicopters flying over our property multiple times per day. If we wanted noise and intrusion we’d be living in the city. – Jane Francis

Totally agree with Anthony Palmieri. It’s time our leaders solve the long-term problem of not having invested in public transport infrastructure in this state.
It is unbelievable we are still having this debate while congestion and increasing travel times grow, making our city more unliveable. I can’t believe we still do not have an integrated transport plan that drives investment in much needed transport infrastructure. Again, where is the long-term planning? – Grace Fitzpatrick
