Plenty of land at lower light, plenty of land on the coast between st kilda and bolivar. We just need a friendly council. With the areas around the Port Adelaide site being reclassed to build a bloody marina of all things, our chances of that land being suddenly available are bleak. Im thinking we should cut our losses and find someone willing to support this venture, rather then waste time arguing with people who have no political motivation to help.
