Kaurna elders are calling for the $291 million Seaford rail extension to veer slightly off course near Old Honeypot Rd to avoid the sites where ancient Aboriginal remains were discovered last month.

Work on the $291 million Seaford rail extension has re-started following the discovery of Aboriginal remains last week, despite calls from elders for it to be stopped.

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.
