A
GROUP of Hallett Cove residents are banding together to have "unsightly" poles
moved from where they have been placed in front of their homes as part of the
electrication of the Noarlunga rail line.
The 8m high concrete poles are being installed every 1.6km along the 30km
track, which runs from Adelaide to Seaford. The poles will be connected by
overhead wires.Columbia Cres resident Marie Jonsson-Harrison wants the poles being installed opposite her house moved 100m to be in front of vacant land off Lonsdale Rd.
"We will have an unsightly structure blocking the beautiful view," Mrs Jonsson-Harrison said. "It will absolutely devalue our home."
Mrs Jonsson-Harrison said residents were discussing plans to fight the poles, including a petition. Her neighbour Richard Flashman said he bought his home because of its view.
"It's difficult to say if it will devalue homes until we go to sell," Mr Flashman said.
"All efforts have been made to reduce impacts to residents along the line wherever possible," she said.
