Councillor Don Palmer Providing Local Leadership & Working for You


I noted in recent previous blogs on Brownhill Creek that Mitcham Council have prompted Worsley Parsons to present 5 further options, based around increased drains through Unley.

This was a hot topic today with 891’s Ian Henschke interview a number of prominent players about these options.

The Eastern Courier has also run an article on the subject. To view the article press on the link below.

My stance remains, until convinced otherwise, that drains through Unley can only be accepted after exhaustive research to ensure it can be done let alone done without causing problems to the amenity of the leafy suburb.

And as our CEO said today when interviewed Council would want to go out to our community about the impact of drains and culverts on their streets before looking seriously at this option.
