The Kaurna community is calling on the Federal Government to stop the Seaford rail extension, after approval was given at the state level for the $291 million project to proceed.

South Australia’s Aboriginal Affairs Minister says she approved the Seaford rail line extension through Adelaide’s southern suburbs after listening to the concerns of local Aboriginal people.

The traditional owners of Adelaide’s southern suburbs have met the new South Australian Aboriginal Affairs Minister to discuss their concerns for significant Aboriginal sites which would be affected by the Seaford rail extension.

The Kaurna National Cultural Heritage Association will take legal action against the State Government if approval is given for ancient Aboriginal sites to be destroyed to make way for the Seaford rail extension.

Sacred Kaurna sites along the Onkaparinga River, including an ancient women’s camp, are in the way of the Seaford rail extension.
