The future of the Woodside Barracks
The Woodside Barracks in the Adelaide Hills is important to our community – economically, environmentally and historically. Next year would have marked its 100th anniversary.
We now know the Government is selling off the Barracks, as part of the Defence divestment of real estate across the country.
So, where to from here? I expect the sale of the Barracks could take some years. In the meantime, I’m working hard to ensure the facilities being used by community groups will remain available.
I continue to meet with stakeholders about the future of this site and will keep up my advocacy for its future as a community asset. I do not want to see Woodside Barracks used for housing, and according to our residents’ survey, neither do locals.
I remain hopeful of an outcome which will see the site and its facilities enjoyed by the community.
