Commenting on the story: Tougher demolition rules proposed for SA character homes
About time. So very many Adelaide suburbs have and still are being ruined by the most ghastly designs of buildings.
The types of material being used are cheap and will not last, unlike the older types of buildings. All the beautiful gardens are being destroyed continuously. I do hope the State Planning Commission will approve this. – Belinda Meyers
The destruction of beautiful homes and changing the whole character of suburbs has gone on for too long. Without these changes Adelaide will be full of rendered boxes with no appeal at all, like everywhere else. Character matters. – Di Martin
