So 2 new land releases and predicted population of 169,000, what do CFS plan to do about it? Stay or get out and handover to SAMFS? SAMFS could do with a station to fill the void in fire cover out that way.

There was mention of an Angle Vale station in between Gawler and Elizabeth in the future.

Buckland Park development would be having an influence on where any new station may be built too

They are also backed up by Eliz, a bit too close for a new MFS station

Ya reckon, its a fair old drive and a massive gap in fire cover. Long way from Elizabeth to Gawler, and Elizabeth has their own fair share of work without needing to drive 10 mins plus to be first arrival at a house fire...and yes I know Dalkieth are there but yeah, CFS aren't a sure bet when it comes to being able to turn out.
