Episode description
Sugars Beach at Hindmarsh Island is set to undergo a major development.
Initial concept designs have been drawn-up for the $7.6 million eco-tourism hub with a $1 million funding pledged announced by former Minister David Basham earlier this month.
The plan includes boardwalks with viewing platforms, a cultural tourist hub showcasing local Ngarrindjeri cultural heritage and art, BBQ and picnic facilities, toilets and a nature playspace.
The plan and concept image has drawn criticism from community members with more than 1,600 people signing a petition against it.
In this podcast, petition creator Heather Oliver from Coorong Cafe joins Jennie Lenman to share her concerns and then Alexandrina Mayor Keith Parkes responds.
