Residents worried about Pt Lowly plans: MP
Posted
Greens' MP Mark Parnell says the South Australian Government needs to start taking the concerns of Point Lowly residents seriously.
During a visit to Whyalla yesterday, Mr Parnell had talks with the city council and local action groups over the proposed Point Lowly development.
A deep-sea port and a desalination plant have both been earmarked for the area.
Mr Parnell says community fears about the impact on the local cuttlefish population are very real.
"I think that they're right in having very serious concerns about whether the giant cuttlefish will survive more refineries and deep-sea ports and desalination plants," he said.
