Campbelltown Makes Third Bid at Hills Land Grab

The Adelaide Hills District could lose $1.7M a year in rates under a long sought out “land grab” by neighbouring Campbelltown City Council.

The Boundaries Commission is set to examine Campbelltown’s twice-rejected plan to take the suburbs of Rostrevor and Woodforde from the Adelaide Hills Council.

Now the bid is back on the agenda as the Commission has approved a $160,000 Inquiry into the proposal.

Campbelltown Council says the move is justified as the two suburbs are more aligned with the district, as residents use their roads, services and parks.

Hills CEO Greg Georgopoulos is against the plan, which he says could cost his council more than $1.7M per year from 570 homes.
